2026 Harvest Days

This year, we are looking for enthusiastic individuals to fill 5 key volunteer roles: Parade, Festival Set-up, Bingo, Carnival Row, and Floaters! 

• As a Parade volunteer, you will assist in organizing the lineup of floats, vehicles, and participants before the parade starts. Help direct them to their assigned positions and ensure a smooth flow throughout the parade route.
•  As a Festival Set-up Volunteer, you will assist the Harvest Days Committee in setting up booths, placing signs, and other tasks needed to get the festival going. 
• As a Bingo volunteer, you'll have the opportunity to engage with festival attendees while overseeing the classic game of Bingo. 
• Carnival Row volunteers will work directly with children, guiding them through various fun-filled free carnival-style games and helping them win exciting prizes. 
• Floater volunteers will step in to support various activities and areas as needed. Tasks could vary from assisting on Carnival Row to filling coolers to restocking supplies, etc. This role has the opportunity to be involved all over the event.

Perks of being a volunteer: 

• Every volunteer that completes their shift gets a FREE Harvest Days t-shirt as they check out of volunteering.
• Every volunteer will have access to the volunteer snack station.
• For volunteers taking on 2 full shifts, you get 1 FREE food voucher!
• For students, this is an opportunity to get service hours in a fun filled way!
• In general, you get to play a more in-depth part of the festival and help make the overall event possible! 

Steps

• Fill out the Harvest Days Parade & Festival Volunteer Application.

Applications are subject to approval. Without an approved application, you will not be permitted to occupy a space or sell any items at the Festival. 

• The Harvest Days Festival Committee retains the right to select vendors and booth locations for the Harvest Days Festival at their sole discretion. We are very limited on space so we will be looking for diverse vendors and will be limiting vendors based on having duplicate goods for sale. Booth applications will be approved based on products, services, available space, receipt of the application, and the applicant’s fit with the Harvest Days Festival.
• The Harvest Days Festival Committee aims to prioritize Midvale owned or Midvale based vendors. 
• The Harvest Days Festival Committee will review all applicants at the June meeting. You will receive a response on June 15th, 2026, with your vendor status. You must receive and be on the confirmed vendor list to set up at the festival. Any vendor not on the list will not be permitted to set up. 

Please note, while we are NOT accepting applications for Food Vendors for this event, any prepared food vendors are okay to apply e.g. baked goods, pre-packaged, etc.). If you have any questions, please send an email to events@midvaleut.gov.

Neighborhood Block Parties, always a favorite of Midvale Harvest Days, are a fun way to meet neighbors, build friendships, and develop a sense of belonging and security among residents. 

Complete the online Neighborhood Block Party form to schedule your block party and arrange a visit from the Mayor, City Council members, the Unified Fire Authority, Unified Police Department, and local elected officials.

We are hosting two dates, Monday, July 27 and Tuesday, July 28, 2026. So please be sure to schedule your neighborhood block party on one of these dates.
