G4G Chicago + &Rise at Midsommar Fest | June 14, 2025

Join G4G Chicago as We Partner With &Rise at Midsommar Fest!

This fun event is returning to Andersonville for its 59th year to kick off Pride season with joy, visibility, and community!

Saturday volunteers will collect festival gate donations (cash & credit card), distribute stickers to attendees, sell raffle tickets and count attendees, provide basic event information to guests, and assist with crowd flow at festival entrances.

All volunteers will receive a free staff T-shirt, snacks, water, a $1 beverage ticket for each shift, and get to enjoy donation free festival access after your shift.

We will also be volunteering on Sunday, find out more here

Due to demand we please ask that volunteers only sign up for a single day to give others the opportunity to join us!
