Seafair volunteers are the heart and soul of our tradition. For over 75 years, your support has kept the spirit of Seafair alive and well. We are beyond excited to welcome back our volunteers for the 2024 season. 

Seafair has (3) signature summer events. the Seafair Summer Fourth (fireworks) - July 4, Alaska Airlines Torchlight Parade - July 27, and Seafair Weekend Festival featuring the Boeing Air Show and the Hydroplane Cup (Aug 2-4).

Volunteers are the people behind the scenes who ensure that every attendee has a memorable and positive festival experience. A lot goes into offering a truly exceptional event, and volunteers are the people who execute much of the work. Duties vary by event but may include set up, take down, hospitality, volunteer coordination and check in, ushering, information booth, security, first aid, runners, photography, social media, and behind the scenes operational duties.  

Do you have a special skill like carpentry, plumbing, CPR, driving a forklift, or dive certificate?  Are you a boat owner?  We have teams that can use your talents such as the emergency management / medical team, the shore patrol, the dive team that sets up the hydroplane racecourse and the highly skilled construction team that build out the venues.  

If you haven't registered with us previously, the system will ask you to fill out an application form. (This only needs to be done once).  If you are already registered, please use your first name and email address to log in. 

Questions? Email events@seafair.org. We will assist you in finding the role / shift that works best for you.  There are also many opportunities for groups and high school students. 

Join our extraordinary volunteer team and help build community, create memories, and provide affordable fun!
