As a festival ambassador, you’ll be stationed in one of the five Zone hubs throughout Halifax and Dartmouth.

For example, you might be assigned to the waterfront Zone during your shift. You will be stationed at a designated Zone signage to ensure you are visible to the public in case they need to ask questions. In this role, you’ll be able to enjoy sharing the Nocturne experience with attendees by handing out the guides, giving directions and answering simple questions like where to go and what to see in your designated zone.

For this role, we are looking for people who are enthusiastic, independent and strong communicators! You should be comfortable with large crowds and have good interpersonal skills. To rock this position but it’s good to know downtown Halifax (or Dartmouth) geography to comfortably give directions.

Training: minimum one volunteer info session in October and read the festival guide in advance.

You are a creative individual who would like to help out Nocturne artists achieve their vision. You are ready and willing to help wherever needed. This may mean standing watch over a project while an artist uses the restroom, or it may mean helping to shovel a pile of dirt or checking vaccine records at the doors to venues. This is the kind of position you need to be easy going for and ready to lend a hand at any moment. We will pair you with an artist, or with a group of artists in the same area.

Ideal for people who are interested in art and culture. You are reliable and committed to helping the artist succeed as your no show will affect the whole team. You are flexible as each artist can ask you for different tasks.

Training: A background in the arts is an asset for this position but not necessary. Attend the volunteer info session in October, read the Nocturne guide and research the artist you are paired with. The artist will also give you direction before your shift.
