We'd Like You to Volunteer for Fandom Fest 2025!
Fandom Fest is a FREE, outdoor celebration of comics, fandoms and pop culture for all ages held from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 13 at the Fort Myers Regional Library, 2450 First St., Fort Myers. This family event features live entertainment, games, crafts, character meet-and-greets and more! Deadline for applying is Friday, Nov. 14 or sooner if all positions are filled.
Since Fandom Fest is a dress up event, volunteers may wear costume elements providing they do not impede your ability to do your assigned job. However, masks, except health related, are NOT permitted while working your volunteer shift. We do expect all volunteers to abide by the Patron Code of Conduct.
The Lee County Library System is looking for teens and adults to volunteer and work at this fun event on Saturday, Dec. 13.
