As some of you may know, there is much more to the Calgary Fringe Festival than 9 days of indoor theatre. We are a dynamic organization that operates all year-round, and have many volunteers who are involved even when the Festival isn’t happening. And even when the Fringe is in full swing, there’s a lot more than just ticket sales and ushering to keep you busy!
Here are some of the lesser-known (and new-this-year!) ways to be involved:
Calgary Lilac Festival: THIS COMING Sunday May 30, come out, enjoy the sunshine and let passers-by know about the Fringe and how they can get involved as patrons or volunteers! *We especially need someone with a truck to help get the tent to the grounds* (Editor’s Note: Sorry for the short notice, that was my misunderstanding! P.S., this dreary weather is supposed to be gone by then, last I checked! Kelly)
Treasurer: Handy with an accounts book? Love numbers? We are seeking a dynamic individual to act as Treasurer for the Festival Society and help guide the direction of the Fringe as a part of the Executive team.
Event Planning & Implementation: Love to plan parties? Have a knack for decorating? Entertaining? Then help us say thank-you to our volunteers and patrons at our legendary volunteer wrap-up party or by helping us put on the very first Fringe Pancake Breakfast.
Fringe Ambassador: BE the fun! Roam Inglewood and engage artists, patrons, volunteers and the public in having a wonderful Fringe experience. Creativity and a warm smile certainly help, but all you really need is love -for the Fringe, that is 
Join a Committee: Have skills in fundraising? Volunteer management? Being behind the scenes of a Box Office? Just want to try something new? Join one of the Fringe’s committees and put your skills and interests to good use.
Billet Hosting: Make a friend, get free passes to Fringe shows; Host an Artist! Provide a comfy place for an artist to lay their head after a long day of Fringing and earn their gratitude and our thanks via some show-passes.
With so many ways to be part of the Fringe, it’s easy to find a role that suits your individual flavour all year round!
