Join the Fair Family: Summer 2026 Seasonal Jobs

🎡 Volunteer Where the Fun Is!

Do you love the energy of the fair? Looking for a rewarding way to spend your summer while making a huge impact in Alexandria?

The Douglas County Fair is looking for a crew of hardworking, friendly, and enthusiastic volunteers to help us put on our 2026 community celebration! Join the team from August 19 – 22 and see the fair from a whole new perspective.

Whether you’re a people person who loves being the first face guests see, or a "behind-the-scenes" hero who likes to keep the engines running, we have the perfect spot for you!


⭐ Why Join the Fair Fam?

  • Inside Access: Experience the fair from the inside out and see how the magic happens.
  • Build Your Resume: Gain great experience, meet local leaders, and earn community service hours.
  • The Best Atmosphere: There is no "office" quite like the fairgrounds! Enjoy the music, the food, and the best team in Douglas County.

🎡 Current Opportunities

The Hospitality Team (Guest Services)

  • Ticket Takers: Be the frontline of the fair! Welcome guests with a smile and keep the gates moving.
  • Parking Superstars: Help our visitors get in and out safely and efficiently (perfect for those who love being active!).
  • Information Booth: Become an expert on all things Douglas County Fair and help guests find the fun.

The Grounds & Operations Team

  • Maintenance Support: Help us keep the facilities clean, safe, and ready for action.
  • Tractor & Shuttle Drivers: Assist with transportation and logistical support across the grounds (must meet age/license requirements).
  • The "Heavy Lifters": Help us with the "before and after"—setting up displays and tearing down after the big finale.

✅ Are You Our Perfect Fit?

We are looking for volunteers who are:

  1. Reliable: You show up ready to rock during the busiest week of the year.
  2. Friendly: You love helping people and representing our community with pride.
  3. Flexible: You’re happy to jump in where needed and thrive in a fast-paced environment.

🚀 Ready to Join the Crew?

Applications for the 2026 season are officially open! Don’t wait—these spots fill up fast as we head toward August.
