Chinook Fest has grown a lot in 10+ years and one thing is certain - we couldn’t do it without all of our dedicated volunteers! Whether you are a seasoned member of the Chinook Fest Family, or are just curious about what we’re doing out in the woods of Naches, we need wonderful people to make this (not so) little festival run. If you, or someone you know, would like to spend a few hours each day volunteering in order to be able to enjoy the festival for free - we want to hear from you!

Volunteer registration is closed for 2023
