2021 Linde Oktoberfest Tulsa

The greatest German biers of our time need some very special handling. That’s where you come in. Help us bring authentic Bavaria to life right here in Tulsa by giving a few hours of time to pour, sell, visit, give, guide, drive, lift and, well, dance (the Chicken Dance). Individuals, friends, friends of friends, families, corporate volunteers and service groups are more than welcome, and you’ll get free stuff. Chicken hat optional.

Guten Tag to all our Linde Oktoberfest Tulsa Volunteers!

Thank you for Volunteering! Here is some helpful information we feel would be beneficial to help you make the most out of your volunteer experience, including how to get to the Festival and what to expect when you get here.

Volunteer Shuttle:

A special Volunteer Shuttle will be circulating from the Veterans Park area every 20 minutes or so, from the Veteran’s Park area near 18th and Main Street, as well as the Spirit Bank Parking lot to the north of 18th Street and S Baltimore Avenue.

Shuttles will begin on Wednesday and Thursday at 3:00 PM, on Friday and Saturday at 9:00 AM and on Sunday at 10:00 AM. It will finish its service one hour after the Festival closes each evening.

If you park in the Spirit Bank parking lot, please be prepared to show your volunteer information to the attendant. Parking at Veteran’s Park is limited; however, there is ample on-street parking throughout the area as well. Please be aware of any city parking meters that may be in effect during the time(s) you are going to be with us. Please do not attempt to park on the grass at Veteran’s Park.

Festival Shuttles:

The Festival runs an extensive shuttle system for the general public for free, from Oklahoma State University Tulsa (Greenwood Avenue), Trade Winds Hotel (Harvard and I-44), and the Walmart behind the Crown Plaza Hotel near 81st and Lewis Streets; however, please be aware the shuttle services for the general public to not begin until one hour before the event, and end one hour after the close of the event each evening.

The Downtown shuttles run every 5-10 minutes, and the south shuttles run every 20-30 minutes. Plan accordingly as time is needed for the shuttle to make its way back to the Festival site.

* All patrons and Volunteers entering the event will be subject to a thorough bag check and pat down for security at the gate.

* Anyone attempting to bring prohibited items into the event may be subject to anything from a simple disposal of the items before entry to a complete denial of entry.

* Anyone attempting to bring a weapon into the event will immediately be turned over to the Tulsa City Police, who work closely with us and our security team.

•• LARGE BAGS WILL NOT BE ALLOWED.

Check out our Golden Rules and Prohibited Items before you come!

Once you have passed through the bag check at the Front Gate, then proceed to the Volunteer Check-In Tent to get checked in for your shift and receive your Volunteer t-shirt!
