Morro Bay Bird Festival volunteers are vitally important to the overall success of this very popular five-day event. Examples of duties may include; registration, attendee check-in, sales, hospitality, speaker introduction, trip-starters, set up/take down, signage placement and much more. There may be opportunities to volunteer before the festival as well. The choice(s) will be yours.
In exchange, we offer you a unique opportunity to be part of the bird festival. As an incentive, 6+ hour volunteers will be offered:
- free registration* starting November 8, 2025, 8:00 AM PST (one week after registration opens to the public).
- post-festival "volunteers only" birding adventures
*Discounts refer to registration only.
On behalf of the Morro Bay Bird Festival Planning Committee and Board of Directors, thank you!!
