PRE-FESTIVAL ROLES
Community involvement and action makes Nightcliff Seabreeze Festival happen. If you love just hanging out at the festival on the days and would prefer to GET INVOLVED during this lead up period, have a look at the Pre-festival Volunteer role descriptions below:
Creative Prep and Signage
Creating bunting, signs, and other decorations. We have some in storage but it always needs a lift and some touch up. Signage touch ups are also important to make sure amenities, food and bars are easily found.
Distribution
Help us get the word out around town buy distributing posters, flyers and programs.
Nightcliff Market Stalls on Sundays
Meet Mathilde and fellow Vollies, get strategic together, spread the word about the events and dates and all that snazzy jazz.
Construction
Any tradies are always welcome, and getting in contact early means potential paid roles too.
