Volunteer Needs:

McKinney Main Street hosts and supports a variety of events in our Historic Downtown: Krewe of Barkus, Arts in Bloom, Texas Music Revolution, Red White & Boom Parade, Oktoberfest, Home for the Holidays, etc. We are always looking for volunteers to assist with those events (manning the volunteer desk, picking up trash, restocking the hospitality room, working the attractions/games, checking in with workers, etc.) along with other opportunities throughout the year. Historic Downtown McKinney is a fun and unique place to volunteer!
