How to Get Involved with the Prosser Scottish Fest as a Volunteer or Sponsor
Updated
The Prosser Scottish Fest and Highland Games is run by a dedicated group of volunteers from Prosser, Washington and surrounding communities, and the site offers a direct path to join them: email the General Chair at [email protected]. There are two volunteer tracks — serving on the organizing committee, or helping on the day of the fest — and the site also lists Sponsors and Vendors as separate sections, so businesses and individuals have more than one way in. The next event is the 25th annual fest and games on Saturday, June 19, 2027, at the Prosser Wine and Food Park.
Volunteer options
The site describes two distinct ways to help, and you can choose based on how much time and planning you want to take on:
- Organizing committee — year-round or pre-event planning work that makes the festival happen.
- Day-of-fest help — hands-on assistance while the event is running.
Both are coordinated through the same contact. To start, email the General Chair at [email protected] and say which track interests you.
How to sign up
- Decide whether you want to join the organizing committee or help on the day of the fest.
- Email [email protected] with your interest.
- Expect a reply from the General Chair or committee with next steps and scheduling.
The site does not publish a separate volunteer application form, shift list, or minimum time commitment, so the email is the practical first move. Because the 24th annual event has already concluded and the 25th is set for June 19, 2027, reaching out early gives you the most choice of roles.
Sponsorship and vendor participation
The site's navigation includes dedicated Sponsors and Vendors sections alongside Chieftain of the Day, Athletics, Dance, Music, and Clans and Societies. That structure tells you sponsorship and vending are recognized, ongoing parts of the festival rather than afterthoughts.
- Sponsors — businesses or organizations that support the fest; the site thanks sponsors each year as part of making the event possible.
- Vendors — sellers and exhibitors who set up at the fest; the site thanks vendors in the same annual acknowledgment.
The published page evidence does not include sponsor tiers, vendor fees, booth sizes, deadlines, or application forms. Treat the Sponsors and Vendors pages on prosserscottishfest.org as the place to check current details, and use [email protected] if a page doesn't answer your question.
What you're supporting
Knowing the scale helps you judge where you fit. The fest is described as central Washington's premier Scottish Fest and Highland Games, held at the Prosser Wine and Food Park, 2840 Lee Road, Prosser, WA (46.218342, -119.729428). The 24th annual edition drew attendees, athletes, clans, Highland dancers, performers, sponsors, vendors, and volunteers — the same groups you'd be joining or supporting.

Common sticking points
- No online signup form is listed. Email is the documented route, so don't wait for a portal that isn't described on the site.
- Fees and deadlines aren't published in the available material. If you're a vendor or sponsor budgeting for 2027, ask directly rather than assuming costs.
- Timing matters. With the next fest set for June 2027, committee roles and sponsor placements are likely easier to secure earlier in the planning cycle.
