Tamale Festival Volunteers

Approximately 300 volunteers of all ages and backgrounds and abilities pitch in and help make the Indio International Tamale Festival such a success. Typically volunteers commit to a 4-hour shift Saturday or Sunday. Some really get into it and commit more than that.

It’s fun and rewarding. Duties vary from section monitors in the Holiday Parade Saturday morning to registration, cashiering, greeting buses, parking lot assistance and more. We can accommodate those who need to sit and those who like to be on the move. You can let us know what duty you’d like to take on and we’ll do our best to match you with your request.

Volunteers receive a commemorative Festival tee-shirt and a couple of dollars to help with a meal at any of our 70+ tamale booths. And you receive our sincere appreciation.
