About
The It's Pride Y'all Festival needs volunteers for our kickoff party on Friday, September 19th, and for the Festival on Saturday, September 20th on East Capitol Street, downtown Jackson, MS. We need volunteers throughout the day of the Festival to help with set-up, maintaining areas, helping attendees, and for break-down. We also need volunteers for Friday night's party and for placing barricades out to close city streets.
