ALBERTA AVENUE NIGHT MARKETS 2026- Volunteer Call-out

Multiple location across Alberta Avenue, Edmonton, AB, T5B 0S7 [map]

3-3 hours / monthly

Ongoing

Led by YEG Ambassadors in partnership with REACH Edmonton and the Alberta Avenue BIA.

We’re gearing up for another exciting summer on Alberta Avenue, and we need your help to make it happen.

Local businesses, community partners, and vendors are coming together to host a series of Night Markets that celebrate the unique spirit of the Alberta Avenue neighborhood. Each market will be held in a different location, with its own vibe that reflects the featured business.

We’re looking for volunteers to help with setup, takedown, vendor support, and creating a welcoming atmosphere for guests. Whether you're passionate about local events, want to connect with the community, or just enjoy a good summer evening, we’d love to have you join us.

Expect a laid-back, family-friendly, and inclusive environment filled with locally-made goods, great food, and community spirit.
