Become a Brookside Gardens Volunteer and support our spectacular annual Garden of Lights display.

Join us for this indoor assignment at the Information Desk in our Visitor Center. We are looking for friendly and outgoing people to help our guests have a wonderful experience during their visit.

Volunteers welcome visitors, share information about the Light Show, and provide directions. The walk-through Garden of Lights display transforms Brookside Gardens into a magical winter wonderland powered by more than 1 million LED lights.

Training will be provided and we'll coordinate with you to accommodate your schedule for an individual training given by staff. After completing training, volunteers will have access to an online calendar and can select shifts. We require volunteers to sign up for at least 3 shifts during this event.

The exhibit runs every evening, November 22 thru January 5 (closed November 25-28, December 24-25, and January 1).

Evening shifts will be:
5:00pm - 9:00pm, Monday-Sunday

Someone will be in touch with you after you apply!
