Volunteers

We would be thrilled to have you as part of Gulf Brew 2008, Acadiana’s beer tasting festival! All proceeds from Gulf Brew support the Acadiana Arts Council, a non-profit organization dedicated to making the arts accessible for all.

As you know, Gulf Brew could not exist without your volunteer support. All the information you need can be found on this site. The earlier you sign up, the better chances of being assigned to your area and times of choice. Volunteer positions are limited and we will only take a limited number of enrollees, so sign up now by calling 337-233-7060!

Remember, volunteers represent Gulf Brew and the Acadiana Arts Council to hundreds of beer lovers. If the thought of remaining sober during your shift bums you out, volunteering is not for you. If greeting and helping beer enthusiasts does seem like something you want to do, then please keep reading. We want friendly, fun loving and dedicated volunteers only, thank you! Your interest and willingness to participate at our festival is greatly appreciated.

Gulf Brew 2008 will be held at Parc International in downtown Lafayette on July 19, 2008 from 3-10 p.m. There are volunteer shifts available both before and after the event, as well.

Volunteer Benefits
As a volunteer you receive a FREE official Gulf Brew 2008 t-shirt! You will be required to wear your volunteer t-shirt so that we can identify you as an official helper. Volunteers 21 and over will earn one Taster Ticket good for 15 samples. Volunteers under 21 will earn one Non-Taster Ticket.

If the thought of remaining sober during your shift bums you out, volunteering is not for you. If greeting and helping beer enthusiasts does seems like something you want to do, then please keep reading. We want friendly, fun loving and dedicated volunteers only, thank you! Thank you for you interest and willingness to participate at our festival.
