On the first weekend in June, the historic Town of Occoquan transforms into a massive outdoor arts & crafts gallery where crowds are expected to top 10,000. The show provides visual art and cultural entertainment including a diverse selection of contemporary and country crafters and artisans from Occoquan and all around the United States. The Occoquan Arts and Crafts Shows need your support to continue to deliver a quality show. Lunch, refreshments, and a volunteer shirt provided!
Volunteer Roles Available:
- Vendor Assistance Team: Volunteers are needed to assist vendors during the show. Volunteers will walk the main streets of the show to ensure vendor questions and concerns are addressed. Volunteers may also be asked to "booth sit" for breaks. Volunteers will watch the booth to prevent theft and inform customers the vendor will return shortly. Volunteers will NOT conduct transactions on behalf of the vendor. These volunteers are also needed to ensure vendors adhere to the rules of the show and set up their booths accordingly. Vendors MUST NOT block sidewalks or "creep" into the street. Walkways, corners and sidewalks must be kept open for access to shops, to facilitate foot traffic and to provide emergency access.
- Shuttle Stop Team: Volunteers will ensure that each patron over the age of 13 that rides the shuttle purchases a wrist band for $5.00. Each bus stop will be stocked with reusable shopping bags that will be available for purchase. Experience with handling money is preferred.
- Information Booth Team: Love people and love our Town? Be an "Ambassador" for the show! Help us staff an information booth on site to help answer questions for festival patrons.
- Flex Team: We consider this group the most "flexible" volunteers. These volunteers need to be ready to go wherever they are needed during their shift. These volunteers will be used to "fill in" for volunteers who do not show up or to cover last minute emergency needs.

About Town of Occoquan
Location:
314 Mill St., Occoquan, VA 22125, US
Mission Statement
It is uncommon in Northern Virginia to find a place that reminds you of your own hometown. Many of us are transplants to this area, commuting long distances to work and juggling complex family schedules in the few remaining hours each day, all the while missing that personal touch of Main Street USA. It is, therefore, a great comfort to find a place with a strong sense of community and rich in history like Occoquan, Virginia. Yes, it is said that Occoquan is an oasis and a little-known gem in the otherwise excess of fast-paced suburbs in the D.C. metro area. But, Occoquan is also a town with nearly 300 years of history that is constantly reinventing itself. Whether you visit for the semi-annual Arts and Crafts Show, to walk the boardwalk along the Occoquan River, visit the charming shops and restaurants, or relax in one of the waterfront Town parks, we know you’ll come to love this small town as much as we do. You just may decide to stay.
