Hello all you lovely people!
Pit Fest is so much fun to put on and be a part of. The thing is, it can stressful to do alone.
Over the last couple years Bailey and I have been searching for volunteers to help day of show.
There are also opportunities to help with art, flyering and our favorite...
PICKING THE LINE UP.

Having a group of friends to get together and go through all the band submissions (and help pick this years line up) is a fun day.
We sit around, listen to music, come up with our dream line up, and just chill.

If you would like to help, and be a part of this years Pit Fest crew, please let us know!

There is a forum you can fill out to help us keep track of what you would like to help with
