For contributing your time, Mariposa Folk Festival volunteers receive free admission to the festival as well as a souvenir Mariposa Volunteer t-shirt.

Volunteers are encouraged to take advantage of the free shuttle buses running to the festival site during festival operating hours from various pick-up points in Orillia.

Volunteers may also opt to pay the $10 per day audience parking fee to park on-site at the festival, subject to availability. We encourage volunteers to consider supporting our greening initiative by riding a bicycle to the festival and placing it in the free bicycle lock-up.
