Job Description

October 2–11, 2026 | Seasonal / Temporary Event Work
Starting at $17/hour
Want to get paid to be part of Oktoberfest?
Flyspace Productions is looking for energetic, dependable people to join our event team for Oktoberfest 2026, running October 2 through October 11 .
This is a big, busy, high-energy event—and a lot of fun. You'll be working right in the middle of the Oktoberfest action, helping us keep the event running smoothly and creating a great experience for thousands of guests.
We're hiring for two primary types of positions:
Event Assistants – Help with event operations, guest activities, setup, breakdown, site organization, and all the little things that keep a large festival moving.
Ride Operators – Help safely operate and monitor festival rides and attractions, assist guests, manage lines and loading/unloading, and make sure everyone has a fun and safe experience.
No lederhosen required. Enthusiasm is encouraged.
What You'll Be Doing
Depending on your assignment, you may:

• Help set up, operate, and break down Oktoberfest activities and event areas
• Operate or assist with festival rides and attractions
• Welcome guests and provide friendly, helpful customer service
• Help manage lines, entrances, activity areas, and guest flow
• Load and unload supplies and organize event materials
• Keep assigned areas clean, organized, and ready for guests
• Communicate with event managers and other Flyspace team members
• Follow operating procedures and safety instructions
• Work outdoors and stay active throughout your shift
• Jump in wherever the team needs an extra hand

Who We're Looking For
You don't need years of event experience. We're looking for people who are:

• Dependable and punctual – festivals don't run without a great crew
• Friendly and comfortable interacting with the public
• Positive, energetic, and ready to work as part of a team
• Comfortable being on their feet for extended periods
• Able to follow directions and established safety procedures
• Comfortable working outdoors in varying weather conditions
• Available for flexible shifts, including days, evenings, and weekends
• Able to lift up to 50 pounds for assignments that involve physical event work
• At least 18 years old and authorized to work in the U.S.

Experience with festivals, amusement rides, attractions, customer service, hospitality, concerts, or live events is great—but it's not required. We'll provide training for your assigned role.
Availability
Oktoberfest runs October 2–11, 2026.
We're looking for team members who can work throughout the event. Hours and assignments will vary based on the event schedule, and there may also be opportunities to help with setup before the event and breakdown afterward.
When you apply, please let us know your availability during the Oktoberfest run.

What to Expect
We’ve done our best to outline the key responsibilities and expectations for this role, but like most things in our industry, the details can shift.

We value adaptability and a collaborative spirit in our team.​

We believe in being upfront about pay. That’s why we include salary ranges or hourly pay expectations in all our postings, no guesswork required. While Pennsylvania doesn’t mandate this (yet), we think it’s the right thing to do. We also offer a great benefits package, starting on day one.
