The Tacoma Freedom Fair on the 4th of July along Ruston Way is Washington State's largest one day event with 125,000 people attending. Each year an army of volunteers helps to make it all happen. This is a fun event to volunteer as you can still get to enjoy much of the fair such as entertainment, the car show, air show and of course the fireworks.

This year the Tacoma Freedom Fair still needs approximately 50 volunteers to finish their planning. If you are a high school student who has a requirement for volunteerism, this is a great way to complete your time needed.

Non-Profits can also volunteer and earn a portion of the donations that can go back to your non-profit. It's a great way to raise funds for your cause.
