Volunteers are the heartbeat of the Great American Beer Festival® (GABF®). Support from volunteer beer pourers, ice runners, set-up crew, greeters, and more makes it possible for GABF to return year after year.
Want in? There are tons of volunteer opportunities for the 2025 festival. If you’re a new GABF volunteer, we recommend starting with our Set-Up and Tear-Down teams.
Set-Up volunteers help build out the festival hall and get a sneak peek behind the scenes of the nation’s largest beverage alcohol festival. Set-Up volunteers are the only volunteers who earn tickets for the 2025 festival for each shift worked.
Tear-Down volunteers help break down the event and earn tickets to the 2026 festival.
