Wanna Help?

Part of the vision of the Deer Run Block Party is for folks to work together to create an event that’s fun and meaningful for everyone. Instead of canned activities, we want to foster interactions that are vibrant, that connect us as humans, that inspire creativity and sense of whimsy. If you’d like to be part of that, we’d love to have you! Below is a list of activities that we would like to see happen. If you want to take charge of one or have some other idea, please fill out the form and let us know!

We’re rounding up a crew of joyful mischief-makers, trash ninjas, booth buddies, and festival fairies to help pull off the Deer Run Block Party. Whether you’ve got an hour, a half-day, or the stamina of an all-day legend, we’ve got a spot for you. Volunteers are the heartbeat of the festival, keeping the music grooving, the vendors happy, and the vibes vibing. Come lend a hand, earn eternal gratitude (and maybe a high five or three), and help us make Deer Run the block party everyone will still be talking about when it’s time to do it again next year!.
