The Scottsdale League for the Arts and the Scottsdale Cultural Council invite you to volunteer for the 32nd Annual Scottsdale Culinary Festival. Our signature event, the Great Arizona Picnic, provides fun opportunities for volunteering and tasting the Valley’s finest culinary and beverage delights.

Proceeds from the Festival benefit arts and arts education programs throughout Arizona and we rely on dedicated community volunteers to staff more than 150 positions on the festival grounds. Volunteering for the Festival is a great way to share your enthusiasm and support for the arts and host a great party. Come join in the fun!
