Welcome to
Winterfest Volunteering!
Share the Cheer
The Winterfest celebration begins after Thanksgiving and runs through the weekend before New Year's Eve. We offer a free musical revue, visits with Santa, and several tours of downtown Pensacola. Throughout the rest of the year we raise funds through our parking and trolley services and build community awareness through outreach and community service.

Red Trolley Theatre
The Red Trolley Repertory Theatre is Pensacola's most original theatre company, producing mixed-media comedy, drama and hitory in our fully restored trolleys. There are two tours on weekends from May through September. One tour features the story of the alien invasion of Gulf Breeze while the other focuses on the history of pirates in Pensacola.
Trolley Services
Renovation on our trolleys is ongoing, and we can use your special skills. A list of current tasks is available at the office. We will work with your schedule to complete these tasks in a timely manner.
Office and Outreach
Community contact is an important part of Winterfest's efforts to build the best holiday celebration on the Gulf Coast. If you are skilled in organization, writing, computer work, or just love talking to people, we would love to have you in our office program. We have several exciting office tasks just waiting for the right person to come along.
The Main Event
Starting in late September, operations for the Winterfest celebration become our primary focus. We especially need technical work to enhance our performances and attractions. This year we will be operating a decorating program for Downtown Pensacola that will be a lot of work, but a lot of fun!
