The Lakeside Festival is one of Crystal Lake’s favorite summer traditions, featuring four days of live music, carnival rides, great food, and family fun. Held July 3 to 6 at the Dole Mansion and Lakeside Arts Park, the festival depends on the support of dedicated volunteers to run smoothly.

Whether you’re greeting guests at entrances, assisting in the beer tent, managing carnival ticket sales, or helping with security, your time and energy play a key role in making the event a success.

Volunteering is a fun and meaningful way to give back to the community while being part of the excitement!
