Bikefest-Open Street Party Volunteer Call-Out

HRM Bike Week is just around the corner and the HCC is once again involved in one of the festival’s staple events – the Open Street Party!

For the first time this year, the HCC and Mountain Equipment Co-op decided to join forces and bring their annual Bikefest together with the HCC’s Open Street Party. This year’s event will take place:

Sunday, May 27th
2-5pm
The streets around the North Commons, Halifax


It’s a fun event for folks of all ages. In addition to opening the streets to cyclists, runners, skateboarders and others, we’ll have kids races and other kids’ activities, a variety of clinics, valet bike parking, music and lots more! In order to make the event happen though, we need volunteers like you! We’ll ask volunteers to:
  • help community groups find and set up their booths
  • ride the streets on a bike during the event to ensure the safety of participants even on the far side of the course
  • answer questions from participants
  • help set up and take down
  • and more…..
And of course, you’ll get a t-shirt and have access to some tasty snacks and refreshments:)

Come and be part of this great annual event: email openstreetparty@gmail.com if you’re interested!
