Volunteers needed for Atascadero Lakeside Wine Festival June 21
Shifts include setup, guest services, and event cleanup
– The Atascadero Chamber of Commerce is seeking volunteers to assist with the 28th annual Atascadero Lakeside Wine Festival, scheduled for June 21 from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Atascadero Lake Park.
The event will feature more than 100 wines from over 50 wineries, as well as breweries, cideries, food vendors, and live music by local artists. Attendees will also have access to the “Roar-and-Pour” experience, which allows wine sampling inside the Charles Paddock Zoo. A portion of event proceeds will benefit the zoo.
Volunteer duties include guest check-in, event setup and cleanup, and general guest services. All volunteers will receive a complimentary festival ticket to enjoy the event after their shift. Those who volunteer during the closing shift, from 7:45 p.m. to 10 p.m., will also receive a SLO CAL Wine Passport, which offers free tastings at participating wineries throughout the year.
“We’re looking for community-minded individuals who want to be part of something special,” said Josh Cross, president and CEO of the Atascadero Chamber of Commerce. “Volunteering is a fun and rewarding way to support local culture and connect with others.”
Those interested in volunteering can sign up at atascaderolakesidewinefestival.com/volunteer-with-us or contact Jessica Cresci at jessica@atascaderochamber.org or (805) 466-2044.
