Parramatta Lanes Volunteers

Parramatta Lanes is back from 22–25 October 2025, and we’re looking for enthusiastic volunteers to help bring the festival to life. 

Whether you're passionate about events, music, food or community, this is your chance to get involved, meet new people and gain hands-on experience.

Volunteers play a vital role in creating a safe, vibrant and welcoming experience for thousands of visitors. Roles include event support, visitor engagement, artist assistance and more. No experience needed, just energy, reliability and a love for large events.

 

A nighttime outdoor party features string lights wrapped around tree trunks, people mingling, and a tent with warm lighting, creating a festive atmosphere.

Why volunteer?

  • Be part of a major cultural event
  • Build skills and confidence
  • Connect with creatives and the local community
  • Receive a certificate of participation

Time Commitment:

  • Up to 15 hours per week, or as agreed
