The Denton event calendar, without an agency taking a cut.
Denton is one of the more creative event markets in DFW. Between UNT and TWU galas and campus events, Arts & Jazz Fest and Day of the Dead on the square, downtown music venue buyouts, and a growing wedding scene, event staff can string together a busy week without leaving the county. Special Event Staff is a free way for Denton bartenders, servers, and setup staff to see and apply to those gigs directly from the caterers and event companies posting them. When a company hires you, you keep 100% of your pay — no agency cut. Student and non-student workers both use the platform. If you're based in Denton, Argyle, Aubrey, or Sanger, you'll also see the Frisco / Lewisville / Carrollton gigs that spill this direction on the same feed.
