Team Supervision

The people in this team are the eyes and ears of the festival during the day and at night. They ensure safety during the event, both for the visitors and for the organization of the festival. The duties vary from supervising the backstage, conducting surveillance rounds inside and outside the site to keeping an eye on the stage during performances. If you see something that is not according to the rules, report it to your coordinator, who will then tackle the problem together with you and possibly your colleagues. You are also the point of contact for visitors. As a “Supervision” volunteer, you are essential for the smooth running of the event.

• Being able to get along well with people, even when they are not in a good mood
• Friendliness
• Be able to act de-escalating

Working hours

This team works during the day and at night. You work in duos or trios and you work in shifts.

You will also regularly be free to walk around and visit the festival yourself. If you are assigned to Friday and/or Saturday nights, you are free during the day, but make sure you keep your eyes open at night too 😉

If you would like to work at night, please indicate this when you register!

Would you like to help out during the day on Friday? Then I would love to! Friday is the busiest day with setting up all the stands and a watchful eye and greeting all the exhibitors at the doors of the festival is a fun activity. 

Business card

All volunteers are the calling card of the festival and the organization, but the supervisors are even more so because of their work. Always keep this in mind, even in your free hours. You will also be given a recognizable shirt that differs from the other shirts so that you are clearly recognizable to the visitors.

Team Gardeners

Every year after the festival has disappeared from the beautiful city park, we want to ensure that the park looks at least as beautiful as it did before. So far it's going very well! When everything is gone, we ensure that the paths are tidy again, and places where grass is damaged are raked again and new grass seed is planted, but of course the park is large and it is often the smallest club that remains. In fact, any help for hoeing, sweeping, raking and sowing is welcome. We have received many compliments in the past about how we leave the park behind and we naturally want to keep it that way!

So…

Have you been a volunteer during the weekend and would you like to help us with gardening after a day's break or are you busy winding down and would you like to put the finishing touches on it, then sign up for this team!

Activities

• Rake and sweep the edges of the paths where road plates have been located
• Sowing grass in places where there is no more grass
• Fill, rake and sow holes and damaged spots in the field.
• Making sure that when visitors come by they get a nice feeling about the park.

We start Wednesday after the festival at 10:00 am, if we are with a nice club of people it will be done in no time and we will be ready around 1:00 pm.
