Volunteers are needed to participate in one of Dayton’s most popular fall festivals.

Dayton Art Institute’s Oktoberfest, slated Sept. 23-25, seeks volunteers for multiple duties including selling mugs and T-shirts, selling soft drinks and water, and staffing admission gates.

“Oktoberfest wouldn’t be possible without the support of more than 2,000 individuals each year,” said DAI Director & CEO Michael R. Roediger, in a release. “Oktoberfest is a wonderful way to bring everyone in our diverse community together, whether attending, volunteering to support the festival, or both! As the DAI’s largest annual fundraiser, it plays a vital role in supporting museum operations throughout the year, and our volunteers are crucial to the festival’s success.”

Those interested in volunteering must register through the museum’s Oktoberfest Volunteer Hub, which can be accessed on the Oktoberfest page of the Dayton Art Institute website at daytonartinstitute.org/oktoberfest.
