Setup Crew (1:00–3:00 PM)
Want a behind-the-scenes pass to one of Dubuque’s most fun summer parties? Come help us bring Jubeck-A-Palooza 2026 to life before the crowds roll in! Setup volunteers will help with things like putting out tables and chairs, popping up EZ-up tents, setting up the kid zone, organizing supplies, and getting the block party ready for a full day of music, beer, and community. Nothing too intense, but you should be comfortable being on your feet and lifting/carrying light-to-moderate items.
Perks include: Early access before the party starts, being part of the crew that makes the magic happen, and first dibs on soaking in the atmosphere before the crowd arrives.
Wear comfortable clothes and shoes you can move in — this is more “festival work crew” than “winery brunch.” Leave the heels at home.
Tear Down Crew (9:30–11:00 PM)
Every legendary party needs a cleanup crew of absolute champions. Tear down volunteers help wrap up Jubeck-A-Palooza after the music winds down by taking down tents, stacking tables and chairs, cleaning up trash, and helping return the street back to normal. The work honestly goes faster than you’d think when enough people jump in, and it’s a fun way to close out the night with the crew after everyone else heads home.
We expect cleanup will likely finish closer to 10:30 PM, but we’d rather plan for a little extra time just in case. This role is best for people who don’t mind getting a little sweaty, staying moving, and helping us finish strong. No heavy construction work — just good people pitching in together.
Perks include: End-of-night crew camaraderie, helping make a community event possible, that oddly satisfying post-event cleanup energy
Wear comfortable clothes and practical shoes. Again: this is not the event for fancy footwear.
