Sandy Springs Festival Organizers Seek Volunteers

SANDY SPRINGS, GA — The 33rd annual Sandy Springs Festival will return to the heart of the city in September, and volunteers are needed to ensure the two-day celebration goes off without any hiccups.

The success of the festival depends on hundreds of "enthusiastic volunteers who make this beloved community event possible," Heritage Sandy Springs said.

Some of the activities volunteers will be asked to do include selling beverages, greeting attendees, providing hospitality to vendors, and registering runners for the 28th annual Sandy Springs Lightning 5K/10K.
