Culture Fest is a popular annual celebration of art and culture, showcasing a variety of entertainment and activities representing the cultural diversity of western Colorado.

The event is FREE to all!

Culture Fest will be on Saturday, November 8th  from 11am - 3:00pm at the Central Library.

Volunteers will help by greeting attendees at the door, providing directions to performances, answering questions about the event, assisting staff and country representatives as needed and helping with clean up after the event. 

Shifts will be available in 2 hour blocks from 9:30am - 4:00pm. Some shift flexibility is available. 

Volunteer Orientations are mandatory before starting as a volunteer with Mesa County Libraries. They are offered several times throughout the year. You must complete your application, interview with the Volunteer Coordinator and complete necessary waivers before attending an orientation. 

Join us in spreading holiday cheer by supporting families in need through the Giving Tree program! Volunteers assist with the 16 year long partnership between Mesa County Libraries and Catholic Outreach by organizing and managing donated gifts collected through the Giving Tree initiative, which helps approximately 160 individuals annually. Your support helps make the holiday season brighter for families in need by ensuring that gifts are carefully managed and delivered with care.

About the Program:
Recipients fill out gift applications with Catholic Outreach if they’ve needed financial assistance during the year. Trees with gift tags featuring recipients’ wishes are displayed at participating Mesa County Libraries locations, where community members select tags and donate gifts. Gifts are returned to MCL locations, wrapped during a volunteer wrapping event, and then delivered by Catholic Outreach to families.
