Call For Volunteers
Help us please
I need your help to make something truly special happen. As you might know, the Richmond Makers Market is a monthly event held at Basic City Beer every first Saturday. It's a fantastic time where we come together, support local artisans, and enjoy the uplifting community vibe.
But in June, we're taking things up a notch! We're expanding our bi-annual Queer Weekend—formerly known as "Big Gay Weekend"—to a full two-day celebration at Basic City Beer and Legend Brewing.
This is a huge deal and a wonderful opportunity for us to support our queer community, with more entertainment, vendors, community organizations, and surprises.
Here's the thing: while the event is growing, I'm committed to keeping vendor fees affordable to ensure our queer makers can succeed and shine.
However, putting on an event of this scale comes with higher bills for production and entertainment and so many extra jobs to do. That's where you come in.
I need volunteers who are passionate about community, creativity, and inclusivity. Your help will be crucial in managing the extra logistics and ensuring everything runs smoothly over The Queer Weekend.
By volunteering, you'll be playing a vital role in making this event inclusive, accessible, and unforgettable. Plus, you'll get to meet awesome people, enjoy the festivities, and know that you're contributing to a cause that makes a real difference.
If you're interested in lending a hand and being part of something wonderful clicky clicky on the button below to let us know how you can help.
