You have to register with Mountain View Chamber of Commerce using the above link to attend the volunteering.

Mountain View Arts & Wine Festival is said to be the largest around town, outside SF, with over 160k attendees over the weekend. We have years of relationship with its organizer -- the Chamber of Commerce, and its volunteer body. We are organizing a volunteer social in it, and we will also organize a Friends Circle event for the "culture participation" crowd to support our volunteers, in a different event post before the festival date. And we would have a group coffee or dinner together on Sat late afternoon. So as volunteers, you will see and interact with lots of people.

We will keep our event whatsApp channel open during the whole weekend, so volunteers finishing shifts can enjoy a meal together, and interact with the friends circle crowd. We will mostly organize the Friends Circle social on Sat. afternoon, so you can choose your shifts accordingly.

Of all the shifts open, the wine & beer pouring stations are the most popular ones and filled up fast. The tickets ones would also be very busy. You will have some free time for other shifts. It usually starts getting busy around 1pm, and lasts till 5:30pm or so. If you want the full experience, I would suggest you choose the above mentioned busy stations, you would get some eerie camaraderie with your follow volunteers after getting exhausted together :).

Mountain View is a pretty professionals heavy & progressive town, so if you know job seekers, you can have them come volunteer here also. People may give you referral when they see you busy being of help.
