Volunteers

Be part of the crew that brings the Americas to Nathan Phillips Square. Without volunteers, there is no festival.

Why volunteer

The heartbeat of the festival

PanamFest is built every summer on the energy of its people. As a volunteer you live the festival from the inside — welcoming the crowd, supporting the artists and kitchens, and helping three days of Pan-American music and flavour run beautifully.

No experience needed — just the will to pitch in. We train you and place you where you fit best.
