The Village Group is looking for community volunteers for its upcoming fall festivals

The Village Group is officially calling on community members, families, and civic groups to join hands as volunteers for two upcoming flagship local events this fall: the 9th Annual Andy Quattlebaum Tour de Plantersville and the Abie & Dorethia Ladson Cultural Festival. Both events bring together residents, cyclists, and visitors to celebrate local culture, community spirit, and health, all while supporting vital youth and educational initiatives in our area.

The 9th Annual Andy Quattlebaum Tour de Plantersville and the Abie & Dorethia Ladson Cultural Festival will take place at Plantersville Elementary School (1668 Exodus Drive, Georgetown, SC). Hosted by The Village Group, the festivities kick off with pre-event setup on Friday, October 30, 2026, followed by the main event day on Saturday, October 31, 2026.

Volunteer Opportunities & Roles Needed

Whether you can lend a hand prior to event day or prefer to join the excitement during the main event, there are a variety of meaningful roles available:

• Pre-Event Setup & Prep (Friday, Oct 30): Assist with setting up event grounds, organizing participant kits, and staging areas.

• Event-Day Operations (Saturday, Oct 31): Help with participant check-in, route guidance, refreshment stations, and general event logistics.

• Event Breakdown: Aid in tidying up and dismantling equipment once festivities conclude.

• Group Volunteering: Local community, school, or corporate groups are welcome to sign up together as a team.

Volunteering is a fantastic way to give back, connect with neighbors, and help create a memorable experience for families across the Lowcountry. Interested individuals and community groups can register online to volunteer or reach out to the organization for more details: (843) 240-0534.
