Help us celebrate the season and support thousands of visitors from near and far!
Every April, the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival welcomes guests from all over the world who come to experience the beauty of our blooming fields and the charm of our community. To help make this special season run smoothly, we’re looking for enthusiastic and reliable volunteers (age 30+) to join our team!
Whether you’re a longtime local, a recent retiree, or just someone who loves springtime in Skagit County, volunteering is a great way to connect, give back, and be part of something vibrant.
What You’ll Be Doing
All volunteer opportunities are based at our Festival Headquarters in Downtown Mount Vernon, where we assist visitors, sell Tulip Festival merchandise, & much more. Tasks may include:
- Welcoming guests and providing directions to the tulip fields and other attractions
- Answering phone calls and sharing local info
- Helping visitors check out with purchases in our gift shop
- Handing out brochures and maps
- Keeping the office space tidy and friendly
There is also an occasional need to help at our organized events, such as the Ambassador Event, Tulip Parade, and Opening Ceremony.
When We Need Help
Our biggest need is throughout the entire month of April, when the Tulip Festival is in full swing and our office and storefront in downtown Mount Vernon (311 W Kincaid St., Mount Vernon, WA 98273) is open 7 days a week. Shifts are available daily, with special interest in weekend help.
Shifts typically range from 3–4 hours, and we’ll work with your availability to build a schedule that fits.
Who We’re Looking For
We’re especially hoping to connect with adults age 30 and up who are:
- Friendly and dependable
- Comfortable chatting with the public
- Able to learn basic details about the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival and Skagit County
- Willing to jump in and be part of a fun, fast-paced environment
