Volunteers

The NW Tea Festival needs your help!

The 2024 NW Tea Festival will be on September 28rd and 29th, Saturday and Sunday, in the Exhibition Hall at Seattle Center. This will be our 14th festival!

Sign up to volunteer online.

Please join us and help with the actual running of the NW Tea Festival by becoming a festival volunteer. 
We need volunteers on Saturday and Sunday, Sept 28 – 28, with a few volunteers needed for festival setup Friday the 27th. Each day is divided into 2 shifts - 9am to 2pm and 1pm to 6pm.  You are welcome to work as many shifts as you like.

As a volunteer you will have a great experience - plan on drinking and learning about some excellent teas as well as meeting and working with some terrific people.   
As a thank you for giving your time to the 2024 NW Tea Festival, you will receive free admission to the festival for both days, a tasting cup, a festival t-shirt and a bag for all of your goodies.  Each shift has time built in to shop a little and enjoy the tea tasting that abounds!

In 2024, we are using a volunteer sign up program to help coordinate shifts.    
Each position will be described along with the shift times. You can pick the job(s) and the shift(s) you would like to work. Look over the job descriptions to find the perfect one for you. If you have a job and shift you would like, please sign up as soon as possible!

We hope to see our old friends and make a lot of new friends this year!
