Takedown Lead - VegFest Kelowna 2026

1600 Abbott St, Kelowna, BC, V1Y 1B7 [map]
3-4 hours 
Lead the volunteer crew that closes down the VegFest Kelowna site at the end of the event.

You'll work from the takedown checklist to direct and assign a team of takedown volunteers — sequencing the breakdown of tents, tables, chairs, banners, and signage, checking all equipment and inventory is accounted for, and coordinating with vendors as they load out. You'll do a final walkthrough with the Event Manager to confirm the site is left clean and meets venue requirements before you head out.

This is a hands-on leadership role: you'll be coordinating a small crew at the end of the day, keeping the breakdown on schedule, and solving problems as they come up. Expect to be on your feet, do some lifting and moving around the site for the shift.
