Who We Are

  • The RGVBF is a non-profit with no paid staff. Yes, all volunteers. And it takes scores of folks to pull together an event like this—from hard-working volunteers filling a shift or two during the Festival itself to dedicated Committee members attending meetings and raising the bar year-round. We thank each and every one, and want to especially recognize that core group that really makes it happen:
