The Emberlight Festival is a volunteer-driven organization.
Each summer over 150 volunteers dedicate thousands of hours to our mission to provide affordable, life-enhancing experiences for our community in the western Upper Peninsula of Michigan. From our Board of Directors to our ushers, production personnel, marketing team, and every other facet of the organization — volunteers are the lifeblood of Emberlight and we are most grateful for their commitment.
