Calling All Volunteers

Do you know what you get when you take hot summer days and nights, add family fun, awesome entertainment, great food and Muddy Waters? TASTE OF WESTMONT!  This award winning festival is celebrating its 15th Anniversary and we are inviting you to be a part of it.  Taste of Westmont offers something for everyone and with your support we can continue this tradition.  Why not volunteer and be part of all the fun!

There are many volunteer opportunities available including open positions on a committee. Volunteers play an important role in this organization. Without the wonderful volunteers our organization would not be able to hold incredible community events such as the Taste of Westmont and Cruisin' Nights.

If you or someone you know would be interested in volunteering, please contact us at wsec@westmontevents.com or 630-829-9378. Any amount of time is greatly appreciated and we will work with you to fit it into your schedule.
