Ipswich City Council

Welcome to the City Events – Ipswich Festivals volunteering portal!

Volunteer with Ipswich Festivals and be part of delivering some of the region’s most iconic events. Through a range of annual festivals, including Planes, Trains and Autos, SPARK Ipswich Arts Festival, Galvanized Festival of Heritage and Christmas in Ipswich, volunteers have the opportunity to support council in raising the profile of Ipswich as a major event city and leading event destination in Queensland.

Volunteering with Ipswich Festivals is a rewarding experience that enables individuals to connect with their community, build confidence, develop valuable practical and interpersonal skills and gain hands-on experience in the events industry. Whether looking to learn something new, enhance career prospects, or give back to the community, Ipswich Festival volunteers make a meaningful contribution while helping create memorable experiences for our community and visitors.

Ipswich Festivals Volunteers play an important role in supporting event delivery. Roles and tasks can include;

• Assisting with event operations (event signage set-up, entry and registrations)
• Providing exceptional customer service (assisting with photo moments, managing queueing, accompanying tour groups)
• Helping visitors with information and directions (directing to first aid, tag-a-toddler marquees)
• Contributing to a safe and welcoming environment for all attendees (greeting attendees, ensuring no children climbing on installations)
