2026 Flash Foxy Mini-Fest

Red River Gorge, KY

TBH this is a MINI festival, it’s smaller than our flagship event so we will only be accepting a few (like 5-10) volunteers. We hope you’ll consider purchasing a festival pass. Thank your support + understanding <3

Volunteer Details + Expectations

As a volunteer, you'll get:

  • A FREE 3-Day Festival Pass

  • A cool swag bag filled with goodies from our amazing sponsors.

  • Exclusive BONUS swag from our sponsors too!

Volunteering comes with some responsibilities too:

  • You'll need to attend an online volunteer orientation before the festival

  • Attend the Thursday evening volunteer meeting at Lago Linda.

  • And work (2) 4-hour shifts (eg. Friday/Saturday, Saturday/Sunday, or Friday/Sunday).

Expectations of Volunteers:

Excited about volunteering with us? We're thrilled! Without our incredible volunteers, this fest wouldn't be possible. We're looking for volunteers who bring their A-game, just like they would when tackling their dream route. Here's what we're all about; clear communication, punctuality (arrive ready to rock – pun intended), taking initiative, owning your tasks, and flexibility. Think you've got what it takes?

Unfortunately, we cannot accept all volunteer applicants. To guarantee festival admission please purchase a ticket. If you purchase a Festival Pass and are accepted as a volunteer we will gladly refund your full ticket price!

  • Google Maps: Lago Linda Hideaway

    About the venue: All of our programming, with the exception of clinics and our stewardship projects, will take place at Lago Linda Hideaway. Workshops, demos, board games, and Sunday morning’s community conversation will take place under their big pavilion. Field games and Saturday’s Fireside Chat (Panel) will take place in the grassy open space next to the pavilion. The Shake-Out Lounge is located next to the Pavilion and is a comfortable indoor space with outlets, free WiFi, and tables. NOTE: The Shake-Out Lounge will be open to other campers at Lago Linda Hideaway during the festival.

    Bathhouses are located at the front of the property near the Café and by the Bertie Branch primitive camping area.

    The roads through Lago Linda are gravel, and these serve as major pathways to and from. The campground where we will be staging is the flattest location and is a combination of grass and gravel. The terrain still undulates but not nearly as much as the other surroundings. Cars can access almost any single nook and corner of the camp ground.

    Directions: Take the Exit 33 toward Slade. Turn right onto KY-11 and continue for 14 miles. Turn right into Hwy 498, continue for 2.5 miles. Turn right onto KY-52 W and continue for 2.4 miles. Turn left onto KY-399 S. Follow signs to Lago Linda. There is a large parking lot with marked accessible parking spaces available.

    Waiver: Please fill out their waiver, required for anyone who stays or uses services on the property.
