A large volunteer base helps deliver JazzFest and without this crew, our festival could not happen. Volunteers get up close to the artists and the behind the scenes work of the festival. They feel ownership in this big citywide event and for the most part, come back year after year. Artists submissions will be received from Sept. 1, 2013 through the end of Feb.
