The Taste of Arlington, Arlington's largest street festival, features over 50 local restaurants, music, entertainment for kids, a dog park, and beer and wine tents for patrons to enjoy. DCYP will be volunteering at the festival on behalf of the charity beneficiary of the event and an organization we've worked with many times before with our fall gleaning events, the Arlington Food Assistance Center (AFAC). Duties may include helping with registration, pouring beer and wine, running carnival games for kids, assisting with the restaurant booths, etc.
Volunteer headquarters is in a space accessed from the street in the mall building between CVS and Noodles & Co. We'll meet as a group in that space to register, get our t-shirts and assignments. Please look for our group first before registering. Our event coordinator (Wade) will be wearing a white DCYP Kiwanis t-shirt.
Volunteers will receive a complimentary t-shirt and a booklet of 10 free taste tickets to use at the Taste of Arlington. For every volunteer at the event, AFAC will receive $50. DCYP will serve the 11am - 2pm shift. After our shift we'll enjoy the festival together and use our free tickets! Email dcyp.service@gmail.com to sign-up. Happy Hour / Meet & Greet *NEW*
