The Community Festival (aka ComFest) is a large, free, non-corporate, music and arts annual festival held at Goodale Park in the Short North area of Columbus. The festival relies on community members to work together in the planning and operation of the festival serving on committees and work teams including clean-up and recycling, safety and first aid, entertainment, street fair, kids art, archi

ves, and more. The festival was first held in 1972 as a showcase for a collection of community organizations including the Columbus Free Press, Free Health Clinic, Food Co-op, Tenants Union, Crisis Hotline, and Recycling Center. The festival continues to provide a forum for alternative lifestyles and collective activity. Beer from The Columbus Brewing Company is sold in large, colorful mugs to fund the cost of the festival itself and to raise money for community projects and grants. All tips from the beer booths go to homeless shelters. To learn more about the festival and our grants program, please visit comfest.com

SEEKING: Volunteers. Columbus area. This summer. ☀️

Me: Legendary 3-day festival. Entirely volunteer-run. Great personality. Looking for someone who loves live music, community, and doesn't mind getting a little sweaty.

You: Available. Passionate. Ready to commit to a shift or two.

I can offer an exclusive t-shirt (not available to just anyone 👀) and volunteer chips worth $4 each at any bar or food vendor. But mostly I'm looking for a real connection.

I've been doing this for decades and I still believe in love. Don't leave me out here alone.
