Volunteer at a festival in Germany – requirements & tasks
Since 2008, we’ve proudly held the title of the biggest, best, and most inclusive Oktoberfest tour in Munich – and Oktoberfest Munich 2024 continues this tradition.
But what’s a festival without its crew? And what’s Stoke Travel without our beloved Stokies? We’re always on the lookout for festival legends to join us in creating amazing, unforgettable, and downright outrageous experiences.
Our festival crew includes people from all walks of life – acrobats and electricians, dancers and accountants, hospitality workers and carpenters, bar staff and receptionists, tour guides and even soldiers on leave. If you have a passion for travel, people, and/or partying, chances are we’re going to hit it off just fine.
Save the dates for Oktoberfest 2024: The 189th Munich Oktoberfest will run from September 21st to October 6th. And don’t forget, our Stoketoberfest campsite welcomes you from September 20th to October 7th.
