Festival Miami brings world-class artists from around the world to perform on our stage. It is a month-long event that reaches over 12,000 people. Volunteers have the opportunity to hear amazing music, associate with thousands of patrons, and help the Festival run smoothly. We need volunteer ushers in order for this Festival to work properly. Festival Miami 2015 will be running from October 16 to November 7.

For every concert an usher volunteers for, there is eligibility for one complimentary ticket of an upcoming concert.

Community Service Hours, or Service Learning Hours, are also available for students upon request.

Jobs include: passing out program books, guiding patrons to their seats, and maintaining concert hall etiquette. Volunteers should wear a nice white top and black pants.
