Make A Difference - Volunteer!
National Volunteer Week - April 27 - May 3 |

Summerfair depends upon the enthusiasm, cooperation and dedication of more than 400 volunteers each year for the execution of its exhibitions, events and fine arts festival. These volunteers, representing 8 counties in Southwest Ohio, Northern Kentucky, and Southeastern Indiana, help ensure Summerfair’s activities are enjoyable to a range of ages and backgrounds from the general public.
SUMMERFAIR NEEDS YOUR HELP!
It takes many volunteers to put on a great weekend of art, entertainment, food and fun. If you'd like to help us out on the weekend of May 30, 31 and June 1, 2008, please drop us an e-mail at volunteers@summerfair.org with your name and mailing address.
Volunteer information packets will go out in March, and you and your friends can join the fun & enjoy the perks of volunteering (including free admission to Summerfair, complimentary drink tickets and a free Summerfair 2008 poster!).
Or download the Volunteer Registration Form (PDF) or in Word format, fill it out and send it back to us and we'll sign you up!
Volunteer Perspective
In 1967, a group of Mt. Adams residents decided to hold an arts festival on the local streets to salute the opening of the new Playhouse in the Park. Artist Karen Kelly, one of the originators of the event  remembers:
“With the help of friends in Mt. Adams, we started planning our first festival. We met every Wednesday night until we had the event planned. My job was publicity and promotion. I made the first posters on yellow construction paper using a big silk screen. We had no money, so all of our efforts were based on what we could pull from our own pockets plus a lot of begging from those who showed any interest in helping. . . . From that committee sprung some of the hardest workers around.”
Summerfair Cincinnati continues to depend upon the enthusiasm, cooperation and dedication of hundreds of volunteers for the success of its fine arts festival as well as other events and activities throughout the year. Summerfair’s volunteer corp represents students and seniors, parents and professionals, artists and arts enthusiasts from 8 counties in Southwest Ohio, Northern Kentucky and Southeast Indiana.
