Volunteers can explore the event's program (Tattoo Club, Marching Show) in their free time, depending on booking availability.
After the festival, volunteers will receive volunteer certificates.
In April, all accepted volunteers will be notified of their selection and sent an invitation to a joint information event by email. If the applicant is not accepted as a volunteer, they will also be informed of the decision by email.
