HELP US MAKE HALIFAX PRIDE HAPPEN

Volunteer sign up for the 2025 Festival will open in the spring

More than 150 volunteers from our community work together each year to plan, host, and coordinate Halifax Pride. Here’s how to get involved:

FESTIVAl & EVENT VOLUNTEERS

Festival and Event Volunteers work alongside Volunteer Leaders to help set-up and run the events and initiatives that make Halifax Pride fabulous. Sign-up for a few hours during the festival or throughout the year. No experience is necessary, but a short training session is required.

We look for volunteers in some of the following areas:

  • Event set-up

  • Tickets & line control

  • Closed space hangout support

  • Merchandise sales

  • Set-up/clean-up for various events

  • Parade marshalling

  • Accessibility support

  • Hospitality support

Volunteer Perks

  • Free transit during the festival (July 18-28)

  • Discount at the Halifax Pride merch tent

  • Free water, drinks, and snacks during shifts

  • Chances to win fun prizes and gift cards

  • Volunteer hangouts before and after the festival

Become a volunteer Lead

Volunteer Leads serve as supervisors and team leaders at events. They receive additional volunteer training and take part in the planning of the events where they will be supervising others. The role offers an individual the chance to develop planning and leadership skills in an exciting collaborative setting.
