Not only is Volunteering at Linde Oktoberfest a great way to give back to the Tulsa Community it is a great way to help fund your favorite non-profits! In addition to a host of other non-profits like the River Parks Authority the TUWC benefits from this festival! Last year, over $50,000 was raised by groups working during Oktoberfest, which goes directly back into the community! 

Why volunteer? 

• The TUWC is paid per Volunteer hour. These funds go directly into our operating costs.

• What do operating costs cover? Specifically insurance so we can continue to host trail work days.

• What do volunteers do? We fill online packet pickup and check in guests. No money ever changes hands.

• We are not serving beer. Actually we see people before they ever get near the beer. 

• Students can volunteer as service hours and the TUWC will sign off.

FAQ

• Is parking free?

Parking on site is paid parking. Linde Oktoberfest has partnered with a shuttle service to provide FREE SHUTTLES from other parts of the metro area. See the map on the official Linde Oktoberfest Site for more information.

• Where do I check in?

Upon arrival at the festival head directly to Volunteer Platz and check in at the “Service Groups” sign. Here you will be given a volunteer badge and escorted to your designated area. Please note, you must have a volunteer badge to enter the event. Please arrive at least 30 minutes prior to your shift start time to ensure you are on location at the right time. Other volunteers are finishing their shifts and would appreciate timely arrival.

• What should I bring?

Pack light! There is limited space to store personal items. We suggest comfortable shoes and attire fitting the weather. At night it can get chilly so a jacket is a great idea. Large bags and backpacks are prohibited.
