Join the heartbeat of the South Florida Fair—Volunteer today

Posted

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — The South Florida Fair is looking for enthusiastic and reliable individuals who are eager to serve in a volunteer capacity — whether it’s to gain experience and knowledge in the event industry, to see the Fair as an insider, or simply to be a part of a community event that provides family fun while creating priceless memories. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, the South Florida Fair relies heavily on volunteer support.

The fair’s volunteer program offers numerous benefits in addition to helping volunteers develop public speaking skills, make new friends and have fun, all while serving their community.

“Volunteers are the heartbeat of the South Florida Fair, and their roles are as diverse and dynamic as the community we serve,” said Stacy Wakefield, the fair’s volunteer services manager. “Whether you're a seasoned volunteer or new to the scene, there's a place for you in our family of more than 800 volunteers of all ages.”


Guest Services volunteers are needed for the annual South Florida Fair, January 16 - February 1, 2026. These volunteers provide the Fair patrons with important information to help make their visit to the Fair a rewarding experience. An orientation program is held before the Fair begins and shifts are four hours each. Throughout the year, Guest Services volunteers are also needed for a variety of events that are produced at the fairgrounds.

Yesteryear Village volunteers assist with the Village’s mission of promoting the preservation and appreciation of early life in Florida, helping to bring the past alive.
Village volunteers help at special events throughout the year as well as during school tours that are held year-round and during the Fair.

Volunteer applications must be completed and background checks are performed on all volunteers. As a nonprofit organization, volunteer hours also qualify for community service hours. For more information and to apply, go online to https://www.southfloridafair.com/volunteer.

The South Florida Fair is produced by the South Florida Fair & Palm Beach County Expositions, Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, and has a longstanding tradition of raising funds for educational and charitable purposes. Located at 9067 Southern Boulevard in West Palm Beach, the 2026 South Florida Fair will kick off with its Ride-A-Thon at 5 p.m. on January 15 and the full fair will be held January 16 through February 1.
