Jazz Fest Volunteer

Coastal Jazz is seeking energetic, friendly volunteers to support the 2026 Jazz Fest (June 26-July 5)!

The story of Coastal Jazz is the story of determination, passion, idealism, community, and of course, music. Founded in 1985 as the Coastal Jazz and Blues Society, we incorporated in 1986 as a community-based, not-for-profit, charitable arts organization located in Vancouver, British Columbia.


Our mission is to connect, transform, inspire, and nurture artists and audiences through the joy, passion, and power of jazz.

This year’s festival features headlining performances by Tomoki Sanders, The Ex, Keyon Harrold, and Isaiah Collier.

We have many volunteer opportunities available for people of all ages with a variety of skills, passions and interests. Volunteer shifts range from 3 to 8 hours, with a minimum 12-hour commitment, and are largely done by self-signup. Shifts will run from June 21 - July 8, with some additional volunteer opportunities taking place in the lead-up to the festival, as well.

Submit an application today so you can stay up to date with our latest volunteer news and be informed when shifts are available!
