About
This family-friendly 2.25-mile fun run is the grand finale of Starry Nights, and it’s a great way to kick start the new year!
Starry Nights at Shelby Farms Park is a bright and fun experience, full of lights and holiday magic! This holiday event has been shining brightly for more than a decade, and cruising through the lights is a longstanding holiday tradition for thousands of families. It’s also the Park’s largest annual fundraiser. This year's show promises to be brighter than ever!
Volunteer positions at this event are critical to its success and are an excellent way to give back to ensure that Shelby Farms Park and Shelby Farms Greenline remain clean, green, and safe 365 days a year.
DRESS WARM! **You will be outside for the majority of the shift** You will want to bundle up.
Volunteers are needed to help at the BuffaGLO Run with tasks including greeting and interacting with visitors, directing traffic, assisting in the ticket booth, and spreading holiday cheer.
Volunteers must be 15+ for this event. You must be able to complete the ENTIRE shift. This is a night event with late end times, so if transportation is a challenge, we ask that you volunteer at another Park event. If your family is volunteering together, younger volunteers are welcome to serve alongside a parent/guardian.
This is a great opportunity for schools, corporate, church, or community groups to volunteer and serve together!
