Dayton Art Institute Seeking Oktoberfest Volunteers

Oktoberfest Needs Volunteers! Can You Help?

The Dayton Art Institute (DAI) has announced its annual call for Oktoberfest volunteers. Dayton’s favorite fall festival–and the longest-running Oktoberfest celebration in southwest Ohio–takes place September 26-28, 2025 on the museum grounds

A Special Offer for Oktoberfest Volunteers!

Oktoberfest can’t happen without volunteers, and right now, we’re a little short. If you’ve been thinking about signing up, this is your sign: DO IT TODAY!

To sweeten the deal, we've got a special offer! Anyone who signs up to volunteer on or after today, 9/18/2025, will score a FREE 2024 Oktoberfest Mug—but supplies are limited, and once they’re gone, they’re gone.**

Every single shift matters. From selling mugs to greeting guests, YOU are what makes Dayton’s biggest party come alive. And trust us, you don’t want to be the one hearing stories all year about the fun you could’ve had while the rest of your friends were part of the action.

As if helping out the DAI and receiving a collectors' mug aren't cool enough, volunteering has some seriously cool perks you don’t want to miss:

✅ Two FREE general admission tickets to Oktoberfest

✅ Three Complimentary drinks during your shift

✅ Early access to 2026 volunteer sign-up (skip the waitlist next year!)

✅ The bragging rights of saying you helped make Oktoberfest happen

This is your chance to be on the inside of the biggest party in Dayton. Don’t just attend Oktoberfest, help make it happen!

**While supplies last. Those who signed up prior to 9/18/2025 are not eligible for promotion.

Thank you and prost!
