A festival ambassador is part guide, part chief of the vibe, and there's just a few spots left on the bill.
The roles are open to anyone older than 16, Tamworth Regional Council volunteer coordinator Veronica Filby said.
"We are looking for 20 more confident people, who are strong communicators and who would be proud to be involved in the festival," she said.
"It's a great opportunity to meet new people from all over Australia and particularly for young people to up-skill in areas of customer service and event assistance, that could one day even help them to get a job."
Ambassadors greet festival-goers, provide information and help them have the best experience possible.
