Alberta Pork Lounge – Volunteers Needed

ABOUT THE ALBERTA PORK LOUNGE

Love food, beer, and great vibes? We’re looking for volunteers to help bring the Alberta Pork Lounge to life at one of Alberta’s biggest festivals: the Calgary International Beerfest.

This is a fun, social volunteer opportunity where you’ll be part of a high-energy booth designed to inspire festival-goers to try new pork dishes, pick up pork at their local butcher or grocery store, and feel confident cooking pork at home.

If you enjoy chatting with people, sharing cool swag, and being part of a lively festival atmosphere, this one’s for you.

WHAT IS THE ALBERTA PORK LOUNGE?

The Alberta Pork Lounge is a welcoming, food-forward space inside Beerfest where great beer meets great food. Our booth features:

• Prize giveaways
• Fun, free swag for guests
• Pork recipe cards and cooking inspiration
• Informative materials about pork and how to enjoy it at home

Volunteers help create an inviting, upbeat experience that encourages people to stop, engage, and leave feeling inspired to choose pork.
