Help Us Make the Magic Happen – Volunteers Needed for the 11th Annual Merion Village Festival

6/24/2025

0 Comments

 
The countdown is on! The 11th Annual Merion Village Festival returns to Moeller Park on Sunday, August 24th from 12 to 6 PM, and this year is extra special--we’re celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Merion Village Association!
 
This free, outdoor event is packed with local artists and makers, nonprofit organizations, food trucks, live music, a beer garden, family fun, and a much-anticipated silent auction. Best of all, every dollar raised helps fuel the work of the MVA all year long.
 
But here’s the truth: this event doesn’t happen without volunteers like you.
 
The Merion Village Association is entirely volunteer-based, and the Festival is our biggest undertaking of the year. From planning and prep to setup and teardown, we need helping hands before, during, and after the event. Whether you’ve volunteered before or are looking for a new way to give back, this is your moment to jump in.
 
How You Can Help:
 
👉 Silent Auction Donation Coordination (NOW–Mid August)
We’re assembling one-of-a-kind baskets and items for this year’s silent auction—and we need help reaching out to local businesses. Most of this role is conducted via email and can be done from home on your own schedule.
Want to help? Email us at [email protected]
 
👉 Distribute Door Hangers (Aug 1–10)
Help us spread the word about the Festival by delivering 3,000 door hangers throughout Merion Village. It’s a great way to get your steps in, enjoy the neighborhood, and maybe even meet a few neighbors. The neighborhood is divided into 21 groups, so you can pick the area (or areas) that work best for you.
Claim your Group(s) Now!
 
👉 Day-Of Festival Volunteers (Sunday, August 24th)
This is our “all hands on deck” day! We have over 70 volunteer shifts throughout the day—everything from setting up tents and signs, to helping vendors find their spots, to coordinating volunteers, pouring beers, and assisting with breakdown. Volunteering for even just one shift helps immensely! Want to do more than one? You’re welcome to sign up for multiple non-overlapping shifts.
Claim Your Shift(s) Now!
 
Let’s Make 40 Years Count
Whether you’ve lived here for a decade or just moved in, the Festival is a true community celebration—and volunteering is one of the best ways to be part of it.
We know your time is valuable, and we promise your efforts will make a big impact. Let’s come together to make this 40th anniversary year the best festival yet.
 
Questions? Reach out any time at [email protected]. We’re happy to help match you with a role that works for your schedule and interests. Thank you for being the heartbeat of this neighborhood. We can’t wait to celebrate with you! 💚
