The City of McAllen Parks & Recreation Department is looking for enthusiastic volunteers to help make the Halloween Festival at Westside Park a fun and memorable event! Volunteers will assist in a variety of roles, including:
-
Scare Crew: Our scare crew is spread out throughout our 5k trail! During the 5k they are responsible for scaring the runners! We encourage our scare crew to either dress in all black or actually dress in a Halloween costume! Our scare crew is asked not to touch any of the runners, just a jump scare!
Game Attendants: Throughout our festival we have 4 rides and 10 inflatable moon jumps and obstacle courses! Our game attendants are responsible for making sure every person has a wrist band to attend the ride and maintain a line! Some games (like moon jumps) require the attendants to keep track of time to ensure everyone has a fair opportunity on the inflatable!
Arts and Crafts: Our volunteers helping us with the arts and crafts are responsible for engaging with the kids, helping make arts and crafts and handing our prizes in the table games!
Volunteers will help ensure all activities run smoothly, provide assistance to participants, and contribute to a safe and festive environment for the community.

Volunteers must be 16 years or older
