Volunteers are critical to the success of the Festival and work closely with the Festival staff and participants. Volunteers contribute to a variety of duties, which include conducting surveys, assisting stage managers, audiovisual documentation of performances, and general administrative and production support. These are just a few of the opportunities available. Year after year, volunteers return to the Festival because it offers great fun, great people, and lots to learn.

Information about volunteering at the next Festival will be posted in early 2018.

On October 14 and 15, 2017, we are co-presenting IlluminAsia: A Festival of Asian Art, Food, and Cultures for the reopening of the Smithsonian’s Freer|Sackler. Those who are interested in volunteering can email CFCH-IlluminAsia@si.edu.
