* Please select the program for which you are applying

Lodging in the Park City area during the Festival can be expensive and difficult to secure. Some Full-time volunteers are eligible for Festival-provided lodging but space is limited and it is not guaranteed for any volunteers. When selecting Full-Time volunteers for Festival provided lodging, we give preference to volunteers who have been with the Festival for a number of years, but this still does not guarantee lodging. Please note that if you have received Festival-provided lodging in the past you are not guaranteed to continue to receive it. (Keep in mind Festival lodging is not glamorous - often it is a sofa sleeper in a common room, or may be dorm style accommodations)

Half-Fest, Sign-up, and Utah residents *are not* eligible for Festival provided lodging.

All new volunteers that apply as a full time volunteer are not typically eligible for lodging. Exceptions do happen (although extremely rare) and are due to last minute cancellations and/or specialized volunteer roles for which they have the necessary skills.

Please note, volunteers are not allowed to stay with friends in Festival-provided lodging unless they are assigned to that lodging by the Festival. Anyone found breaking lodging policy will no longer be eligible for festival lodging and may not be welcome to volunteer at the festival.

Volunteers are not allowed to stay with friends in Festival-provided lodging unless they are assigned to that lodging by the Festival.
