PAVE festival is a grass roots community engagement project that invites people to
gather, share and celebrate. This festival was conceived and initiated by the Emerald
Community House under the name Performing And Visual arts in Emerald (PAVE) project in
2003, as a community development exercise to increase community capacity and
synergy. PAVE reaches across all social demographics to provide affordable access to
arts based projects and performances in Emerald, whilst offering another reason for
people outside the community to visit the town. This year, the festival will run from 7th
April-14th April 2019. It will include many events, including the annual Emerald Funfest on
7th April which brings the streets of Emerald and surrounds alive with music, arts and
entertainment. It is an umbrella event designed to allow various community groups and
local performers to showcase programs and talents to the broader Emerald community and
surrounding areas. There are plenty of opportunities to volunteer across the week of 7th -
14th April. Volunteer activities will include venue set ups, ticketing, bar service, car
parking, dishwashing to packing up after the festival ends. Any helpers would be warmly
welcomed. Volunteers are welcome to help out for as many or few days as they wish,
meaning that there is no requirement to be available for the entire duration of the festival.
The link for anyone interested to sign up as a volunteer is: https://pavefest.wufoo.com/forms/w1vzkfu01n73dfo/ No previous experience is required
for volunteers so all are welcome to apply. The only requirement is for volunteers wishing
to volunteer at the bar who would need to have completed an RSA course.
