It would not be possible to accommodate 35,000 people in over 35 venues and 10 hours of programming without the support of hundreds of volunteers. First Night Monterey depends on volunteer support not just the night of the celebration, but year 'round as well, with steering committee, office and outreach support, farmers' market, button sales and more. We count on you to bring this wonderful celebration to our community year after year! Click here to see the Volunteer Flyer!
