About the Project: Na Fir Bolg is a three-day music festival in the Flemish region of Belgium! The festival began in 1966, as a fundraiser for several environmental organisations. Since then it has grown over the years, now holding two stages for local and international folk music.
Type of Work: Volunteers will help installing fences, stages and water systems before the festival and helping to dismantle it after the festival. They will also help putting up decorations and posters.
Accommodation: Volunteers will stay in a building next to the festival grounds.
Volunteer Requirements: A moderate level of physical fitness is required due to the hard manual work.
No application deadline, open until all spaces are filled.
