Wichita Forever Fest
August 22–23, 2026· 11:00 – 01:30
Wichita Forever Fest is an entirely DIY festival built by the people who live here and made for everyone. We want to show our city the power of coming together to support what makes this place our home: Our artists, our musicians, and our collective creative voice. We couldn't do that, without you: Our Volunteers. If you're someone who is passionate about showing up for their community, we have opportunities for you to be a piece of what Wichita is building. By the Community, for the Community. Forever. Join the mission through one of the roles below! Please reach out to info@wichitaforeverfest.com with any questions.

The Stage Manager keeps the show running on time, from soundcheck through the final set and breakdown (or tag-team with a secondary stage manager for your location). You’ll coordinate closely with performers, artists, and crew to confirm stage plot needs, and any special requirements. You’ll manage the flow of each act, tracking start/stop times, cueing transitions, and ensuring equipment is ready and staged correctly for the next performer. On the venue side, you’ll help maintain clear communication between the stage area and other festival teams (sound/tech, volunteer leads, and logistics). You’ll be alert to last-minute changes, and quickly adjust run-of-show as needed. As the stage’s main point of contact, you’ll also help keep the stage area organized and safe by confirming who is allowed in restricted areas, directing crew where they need to go, and making sure the space is ready for each set. Your goal is to keep everything moving smoothly so artists can focus on performing while the event stays professional, on-time, and welcoming.
