Hupstate Circus Fest is seeking volunteers!

Please share what your interests are so that we can start planning appropriate responsibilities to share with you. You can expect a reply from us within 72 hours of your submission - if you haven't heard back, don't hesitate to email us at info@hupstatecircus.org!

Please note, when we ask for volunteer support, we really mean it, with no strings attached! We want to be transparent that we aren't in a position to offering work trades for tickets or workshops - we hope that volunteers will also contribute by buying tickets and participating in that way!

For volunteers looking for housing support, we've rented a few campsites (tent and cabin camping) at Buttermilk State Park - they will be filled with volunteers on a first come first served basis and you can request a spot below. This housing is not guaranteed unless we have formally confirmed it with you!
