We are in need of volunteer support for Fair St. Clair 2026, a large-scale community event taking place this summer in Belleville, Illinois. Fair St. Clair 2026 will be held on July 30–31 and August 1, 2026 at the Belle-Clair Fairgrounds. This family-friendly community fair brings together thousands of local residents for agricultural exhibits, entertainment, youth activities, and community engagement. To safely and efficiently operate an event of this size, we are seeking approximately 200 volunteers across the three days of the fair. We would be honored to have Students participate in support roles that directly contribute to public safety, organization, and positive community relations.

Volunteer Coordination & Support
