Every house begins with a solid cornerstone. Similarly, Into The Great Wide Open needs those building blocks to bring the festival to life. In The Cornerstones, we follow the people whose work is indispensable to the festival.
About 850 volunteers work at Into The Great Wide Open every year, and they are all equally indispensable. Today we take a look behind the scenes at one of them. Jane works in crew catering and makes sure that all volunteers (and crew) can get to work well fed. On today's menu are a tour and Lebanese flatbread.
