About the volunteering opportunity

The Osterbrooklyn Festival is organized entirely by volunteers.
Before the first guests can arrive, we need to transform an empty space into a lively festival grounds.

For this task, we’re looking for people to lend a hand with the setup. Together, we’ll set up tents, beer tent furniture, decorations, barriers, and other infrastructure. Many small tasks ensure that bands, families, and guests can later enjoy a wonderful day by the Bille.

The nonprofit BOOT e.V. is a neighborhood initiative in Hamburg’s Hamm-Süd district. We run an open community space by the water that features cultural events, a café, canoe rentals, and volunteer projects.
