Here are the many different ways you can help out!
Set-Up Crew – Help bring the fest to life by setting up tables, chairs, banners, signage, and beverage stations before the gates open.
Gate Greeters – Be the welcoming face of the fest! Greet guests and encourage a suggested donation that supports the music, the festival, and neighborhood programs. Great for outgoing personalities and strong communicators.
POS Stations – Perfect for tech-savvy volunteers who are calm under pressure and comfortable handling credit card transactions in a fast-paced environment.
Beer Stations – Help keep the good vibes flowing! Pour drinks, check IDs, and work in the center of the festival action.
Teardown Crew – Help us wrap up a successful weekend by breaking down festival areas, packing materials, and restoring the neighborhood.
Returning this summer is the neighborhood favorite annual Square Roots craft beer and music festival in Lincoln Square, organized and sponsored by the Lincoln Square Ravenswood Chamber of Commerce and Old Town School of Folk Music.
Heart of Lincoln Square Neighbors Association was selected — provided early access as a part of the LSRCC Service Earned Grant Program for Non-Profits - and all we need to do is bring in some neighbors to help out at the entrance gates, ticket booths, beer tents, and more during this incredible event from July 10-12.
join our team of volunteers!
The money we raise through this effort will support projects our committees are tackling, from beautification and events to marketing and outreach for HOLS. Do you want to raise money through HOLS for a specific cause? Contact Loren at info@heartoflincolnsquare.org.
