Volunteers and their supporting organizations are the most integral part of the World’s Largest Brat Fest! They set up, they grill, they cashier, they wrap, they stock condiments, they make sure the event grounds are clean, they tear down – you get it – they pretty much do it all!
Each year, Brat Fest depends on nearly 5,000 volunteers of all ages* with over 16,446 volunteer hours to play a special part in our continued success and our quest for the WORLD RECORD all in the spirit of community giving! Without them, Brat Fest would not be the same.
