Festival on the Square Seeking Volunteers

TYLER — The 23rd Annual Festival on the Square is headed back to the brick streets of Downtown Tyler, and organizers are issuing the call for volunteers to help operate the event. Festival on the Square is set for Saturday, Oct. 9, 5:30 p.m. to midnight, in the area surrounding the T.B. Butler Plaza in downtown Tyler. The event will feature some of the hottest names in Texas Music like Casey Donahew, Sean McConnell, J.B. and the Moonshine Band and Ryan Beaver.

“We depend on literally hundreds of volunteer hours to make this event happen,” said Beverly Abell, director of the City of Tyler’s Main Street Department. “Without the volunteers, there is no way possible we could produce events such as this,” she added. Volunteers are needed in a variety of areas, including front and back gate, soft drink sales and souvenir sales. Those interested in volunteering should go to
http://www.FestivalOnTheSquare.com and follow instructions to go to the volunteer sign-up link. All volunteers will receive a free Festival T-shirt and a ticket to the concert, Abell said, adding that online advance ticket sales information is also available on the site.
