Springfest

Location: Munich, Germany

Known as Frühlingsfest in the local language, Springfest is the often overlooked alternative to Oktoberfest, taking place in April and May instead of September and October. Not to be outdone by its notorious older sibling, Springfest delivers the same big, strong German beers, delicious food, fairground rides and attractions, and beer halls packed with boozed-up crowds of revellers partying to the tune of oompah bands – just on a slightly smaller scale (and less touristy too). Stoke Travel’s all-inclusive Springfest packages include: A stay in pre-erected twin-share tents with sleeping mats and sleeping bags, a tasty chef-prepared bottomless brunch breakfast each morning with unlimited mimosas, awesome Stoke Travel campsite parties, guides to direct you to the beer halls, and an international crowd of like-minded beer lovers!

WORKING ARRANGEMENT

What’s a festival without the festival crew? What’s Stoke Travel without our beloved Stokies? We are aways looking for Legends of the Fest to help us make our experiences amazing, and unforgettable and as outrageous as possible.

In the past our festival crew have included acrobats and electricians, dancers, accountants, hospitality workers, carpenters, bar staff, receptionists, tour guides, soldiers on leave, TV personalities – people from every and all walks of life. If you’ve got a passion for travelling, people and/or partying, then we’re probably going to get along perfectly.

Springfest, Munich: 5th April – 12th May

THE BEGINNING, POLISHING A TURD
Regardless of your job title, it’s all hands on deck when it comes to setting up camp. You will be setting up hundreds of tents, blowing up thousands of mattys, building bars, painting masterpieces rain, hail or shine! It’s the most important part of the festival, as the creation of the Stoke Wonderland that WOW factor is vital!.

CHECK IN & RECEPTION DESK
You guys will be the first point of contact with Stoke. Travelers only get one first impression of us… .and you are it!!! This job requires some smarts, the ability to work hungover, and that beautiful smile of yours. You’ll be checking guests in allocating them a tent and making sure they find a tent runner.

WELCOME CREW & TENT RUNNERS
Another one that’ll require some energy (extroverts will froth over this role), but everyone on site will know your face and love you for the sangria/beer you will offer them the second they arrive. You need to know where everything is at camp and the festival, information about buses, what’s for dinner, and most importantly where everyone is sleeping.

BAR BABES
This is not just a piss up job, this job requires skill and dedication! Your job is to man the Stoke bar and keep that sangria and beer chilled and flowing. Use those customer service skills you learnt at McDonald’s when you were 14 and pour like you’ve never poured in your life. This role is a non-stop late night role, it’s really important to keep the booze flowing and the party going.

TENT TURNOVER
The most important job of the festival, you guys smash out dirty tents as a team and get them ready for the next set of campers. You normally get a sleep in and if you get the job done, you’re finished before the party starts and weekends off if the job is done right. Living the life.

KITCHEN PARTY
We like to get funky in the kitchen. Working under Stoke head chef Jake, it’s your job to start the party in our mouths. You’ll create and serve some epic meals to our travellers. Smile, know the menu, and pretend that you’re on one of the 128,634 reality cooking shows out there in the world (taste & presentation = a winning combo).

THE GURU TENT (SWAG & TRAVEL DESK)
You’re the source of all information and merchandise for customers and staff. You are the Stoke bible. Know the answers for both dumb and intelligent questions, and control bus sign-ups, breakfast tokens, party and Stoke trip tickets, and charging stations. You have a chance to make commission on any ongoing trips you sell.

ON-SITE ENTERTAINMENT
You are the starter of the party and the mouthpiece of all Stokies combined. From welcoming everybody into the realm of Stokepedia, to getting the lowdown on last night’s happenings, to keeping the attention of the masses, to riling the crowd up with a good yarn and banger on the decks - you’re here to set the tone of the whole festival vibe.

AAAAAAND STOKE GUIDES which is all of you
Your job is to be the most outrageous motherfucker in the place, while still keeping it together and knowing your shit. Act confident and spread good vibes. You need to remember where everyone is going, how long it will take, and when you will need to be back at the bus. Have a massive fucking smile, say a hilarious welcome speech when needed, have all the info, talk to the campers not to the staff, and become BFFs with the bus driver. Most importantly be available to answer questions and help out the travellers!

6-8 hours shift and 2 days off
