Volunteer - Sausalito Art Festival(9/1-3)

Sausalito Art Festival

The Sausalito Art Festival is one of the first juried fine art festivals in the nation.

Over one million visitors from throughout the world have attended the Sausalito Art Festival since its inaugural event in 1952. Sausalito has been the focal point for artists for close to 200 years. Weekend painters first arrived by sailboat from San Francisco in the early 1800's to capture scenes of tall ships and nature against the majestic backdrop of the bay(referred to Art Festival website)

I found this volunteering on the internship in the same way as I explained in the last posting. Sausalito is one of my favorite places in San Francisco so I applied right away. Another benefit is admission fee is free as a volunteer!

This festival was pretty big so they needed lots of volunteers with lots of volunteer positions. I was so surprised about the number of their positions compared to the Stern Grove festival.
But, the funny thing was most of positions related to alchol like wine, beer and cocktail were already occupied by early birds. Those positions were the most popular positions I guessed!





I also applied for the winery booth because I enjoyed wine at that time. They didn't allow us to drink but at the end of the day, I drank a glass of wine and also got a souvenir! Also, I learned a little bit about the kinds of wines.

Souvenir^^*

Here, U can enjoy yourself with various kinds of arts and crafts. Also, different kinds of food with picturesque view on the sunny days. Another thing I like at this festival was I met a lot of people there and talk a lot! I was a little bit afraid of selling the wines(Because my english was not perfect!) but the manager of that booth praised my english so I was happy hehe:) (but still struggling with them u.u)

I know internship life is kinda busy but sometimes this experience will give you the experience to real American life and meeting nice people! 

Go for it ! U should try it !
