Meet the Magic Makers

The Volunteers, Artists, and Organizers of FurFest at the Grove

The Heartbeat of the Festival

While the historic rides and the beautiful grove provide the setting, it is our incredible team of volunteers, artists, and organizers who truly bring the magic of FurFest at the Grove to life. From the moment you step up to the White Tent to the final song at the After-Party, these dedicated individuals are working tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure your weekend is safe, seamless, and unforgettable.

Our team is a diverse collection of passionate community members—panel hosts sharing their expertise, meet-up organizers fostering new friendships, talented artists capturing the spirit of the Midway, and the hardworking event staff who keep everything running smoothly.

A Culture of "Making Memories"

Every person you meet wearing an official Staff or Volunteer badge has dedicated their time and energy to our core mission: supporting the restoration of Bushkill Park while celebrating our unique community. Whether they are peace-bonding props at the gate, guiding a photography meet-up by the 1923 Carousel, or managing the Headless Lounge to keep our entertainers cool, they are the unsung heroes of this event.

We invite you to get to know the faces behind the festival below. When you see them in the grove, please don't hesitate to say hello or offer a "thank you"—their hard work is the foundation of the memories we are making this weekend!
