Please keep in mind that whether you are providing your own lodging or not you are still responsible for transportation to and from your shift location.*Part Time volunteers and Utah residents ARE NOT eligible for Festival provided lodging. Part Time volunteers must have secured lodging to be eligible for role placement.
