Give a shift!

2026 Elk Rapids Harbor Days is quickly approaching, and we need YOU to help bring the magic to life!

Join our incredible volunteer team and Give a Shift to be part of one of Northern Michigan’s most beloved summer traditions. Whether you’re signing up solo or as a group, there’s a spot for everyone to jump in, have fun and make a real impact.

Volunteer sign-ups open soon! Once open, take a look at the event schedule, choose a shift that works for you and help us create an unforgettable festival experience. Just two hours of your time can go a long way and might even spark a new family tradition!

All volunteers will receive a lanyard to wear during their shift so you can proudly represent the team behind the scenes.

Please note, Saturday volunteer shifts must be filled for the fireworks show to go on, so be sure to sign up and help keep this crowd-favorite tradition shining bright!
