FAQ

Festival Hall Volunteers

What is Festival Hall?

Within the CFMF's building, Festival Hall (FH), we are able to present the diverse indie, roots, traditional, and world music the Festival is known for, all year round. Not to mention private booking such as weddings, speaking events and birthdays!

FH volunteer opportunities

Directly recruiting from our loyal CFMF volunteer base, the Festival Hall Volunteer Program operates with over 40 people on our mailing list. We rely on the support of our volunteers to help us run a variety of events throughout the year, including concerts, orientations, and meetings.

We are not currently accepting applications for the FH Volunteer Program. Existing FH volunteers will be contacted with season updates and volunteer opportunities as they arise.

The Calgary Folk Music Festival (CFMF) was founded in 1980 and is produced by the not-for-profit Folk Festival Society of Calgary (FFSC).

This annual family-friendly musical extravaganza takes place on the last weekend of each July; and has been held at Calgary's Prince’s Island Park since its inception. Diverse programming presents 70 some artists across seven stages; ranging from local favourites to international artists, there is sure to be something for everyone. Come be a part of the magic and join the community of over 50,000 Calgarians and tourists as we gather for good music and great times!

"One of the biggest successes of the volunteer program was the welcoming and supportive community-it made volunteering feel meaningful and enjoyable. I also really appreciated the food services provided; they were well-organized and thoughtful. I’d love to see both of these continue next year. Creating that positive environment really encouraged people to stay involved."
