Volunteers
For more than ten years, MCAF’s success has depended on volunteers! All year long, MCAF can count on the hard work of volunteers channeling their love for comic arts in our festival. Here are three great ways to get involved.
Volunteering During the Festival
The 14th edition of the Montreal Comic Book Festival will be held from May 23 to 25, 2025 on Saint-Denis Street and once again we will need your help to make it amazing.
Registration for volunteering will open at the beginning of 2025.
We are looking for passionate and enthusiastic people to contribute to the success of this event and be part of our team of volunteers.
Whether you’re welcoming the public and comic artists, selling merchandise or helping with the logistics of the event, you’ll have a front row seat to a free festival that is growing in the heart of Montreal.
You will also meet talented creators and comic book enthusiasts from around the world, discover incredible works and live a unique and memorable experience.
So if you’re ready to help create a fantastic event and meet some great people, join us! We’re excited to meet you.
If you have any questions, please contact volunteer@fbdm-mcaf.ca.
