Festival Volunteer Programs Abroad

Festivals are a time for people to come together and revel in their passions, a time to take a break from the ordinances of everyday life and celebrate something near and dear. If you are willing to put in the work and efforts, then it won’t be too hard to have the time of your life joining the craze of festivals as an international volunteer. Those who volunteer at festivals abroad will get a behind the scenes look at the organization and coordination that goes into festival and event management, but they will also get to work with people from a range of backgrounds and enjoy the excitement that comes along with festivals worldwide.

A Guide to Festival Volunteering Abroad

Why Volunteer Abroad at Festivals

Year after year, festivals all around the world depend on the devoted work of volunteers, both international and local, to make sure every part of the festival goes off without a hitch. Though it may seem like all fun and games while you are in attendance, there is actually a ton of work that goes on behind the scenes in order to make festivals run smoothly and successfully. Volunteering at a festival abroad is your opportunity to earn free admittance, get a unique backstage view into how festivals run, and experience the excitement of another culture’s revelry.

IVHQ Christmas Program in Guatemala

November 26, 2025by: Patty Urda - United StatesProgram: Worlds #1 Volunteer Programs. 40+ Countries from $20/day!

I volunteered with IVHQ for their Christmas program in Antigua, Guatemala. This was my first experience with IVHQ and I will definitely volunteer with them again. I stayed with a local family who were kind, thoughtful and made me feel right at home. The accommodations were modest but clean and comfortable. The Christmas program was a great experience because we had the opportunity to do a variety of activities including working with seniors and children, picking coffee beans, and a cultural immersion. I appreciate that IVHQ partners with local organizations on the ground.
