If you can help organize, please join our committee! We meet once a month. You can help out on one of the many very important jobs to make this community event happen! Contact us at bgnd@blueridgeca.org and we’ll get you connected.

If you’d rather help on the day for an hour or two, contact us at volunteer@blueridgeca.org. This includes the Parade, Youth Activities, Concessions and more. You can also help organise ahead of time with a few emails or calls! This would include the Silent Auction and Community Tables.

Every volunteer counts! No help is too small!

Silent Auction

One of the big events at BGND is the silent auction, where visitors bid for great items donated by local businesses and residents. Each year the silent auction helps pay the expenses of running the event, and 2024 is no exception. Here are some examples

We look forward to seeing you there!
