#Volunteers

Are you keen to get involved in the festival? Would you like to look after venues or artists, sell programme booklets & bracelets, work at an information booth, help out in the kitchen or take over transfers for artists?
You can sign up here now! The sign up form is only available in German but language shouldn’t stop you from participating, not every task requires German.

Everyone is welcome – we look forward to seeing you! 

If you have any questions: staff@buskersbern.ch
