Welcome! The Gilman District Street Fair will take place on Sunday, April 26, 2026 from
10am - 5pm, come rain or shine.
The Gilman District Street Fair organizing committee is seeking volunteers to assist with
our 4th annual event. The last three Street Fair events were a tremendous success, and
this year’s event promises to be even bigger and better. And we could use your help!
The event location is in the heart of Berkeley’s wine block. We will be closing off one
block of Fourth and Fifth Streets between Gilman and Camelia Streets, and three blocks
of Camelia Street, between Trumer Pilsner and Sixth Street. We plan to have plenty of
booths spanning local businesses and organizations, artists, and food trucks.
We are looking for volunteers to assist the organizing committee the day of the event,
starting at 7:30am and ending around 6:30pm. We are hoping for a 2-2.5 hour
commitment from each volunteer. The range of responsibilities will include:
● Checking in vendors and directing them to their assigned location
● Helping to set up booths and stages
● Assisting with vendor and food truck needs
● Directing traffic away from closed off streets
● Assisting with the flow of performances
● Communicating with organizers to ensure smooth running of the day
● Assisting with breakdown of the event
After completing the form below you will receive an automated response letting you
know that we have received your volunteer request. We will be sending a follow-up
email with more information about the event.
