Volunteers are essential to the success of the Freedom Festival. Annually, the Freedom Festival is supported through volunteer efforts from hundreds of community volunteers! To have such a successful support system, the Freedom Festival is proud to offer the Win-Win-Win Volunteer Program.

Thanks to our generous sponsor, Alliant Energy—we are able to PAY our volunteers through our Win-Win-Win Program! For every volunteer shift you work, you’ll earn $25 for a non-profit/charity! Sign up as an individual or get a team together to volunteer for the Freedom Festival AND help raise much needed funds for area non-profit organizations! That’s why it’s a Win-Win-Win!

COMING SOON: 2026 Win-Win-Win recipients!

Spots fill up fast, so make sure you sign up TODAY!

All volunteers must be at least 16 years old (or have an accompanying adult/guardian) and must be able to lift 50 lbs.

Our Win-Win-Win Volunteer Program would not be possible without the support of Alliant Energy! Because of them, we are able to funnel thousands of dollars to other non-profits in our community!
