Festival-day Volunteering
If you are interested in volunteering at Kallio Block Party, please fill out this form
Kallio Block Party is one of Helsinki’s biggest city festivals. This year, the event will take place on Saturday, August 1st in the Alppila area, with a total of 9 stages. Each year, we expect somewhere between 15,000 to 30,000 guests, so we need your help in keeping our wonderful event running smoothly.
By participating in the festival, volunteers get the opportunity to meet new people and gain experience in festival organisation. Since Kallio Block Party is a non-commercial event, we cannot offer monetary compensation for volunteering. Instead, volunteers are offered a free meal and a work certificate per request. Everyone who is of legal age also gets a free ticket to one of KBP’s after-parties, which are held in multiple locations not too far from the festival area.
The production of the event takes place between 8:00 and 01:00 and tasks are available throughout this time. Volunteers’ duties include, but not limited to:
- Event preparation
- Stage preparation
- Monitoring roadblocks
- Logistics assistance
- Event maintenance
- Info tent
We hope that volunteers will be ready to do at least a 4-hour shift. All help is appreciated, so doing more or less than that is also fine. We will hold an information session for the volunteers around 2 weeks before the event. On the info day, we will take a closer look at what work you will be doing and who will be your responsible person during the shifts. We will also answer the questions, if any arise. Please let us know if you have any skills that you would like to use during the volunteering.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact us at kallioblockparty@gmail.com and our volunteer coordinator will answer them!
