Comox Council is looking for volunteers for Nautical Days.

“This is an excellent opportunity for individuals to contribute their skills, ideas, and passion to a festival that brings so much joy to our community,” said Comox Mayor Nicole Minions.

“We welcome diverse perspectives and backgrounds to sit on this committee and those who are energized to contribute to the festival’s continued  success.”

They’re looking for people “who provide high-level oversight and strategic direction while also making recommendations to the Council and the event organizers for the annual community celebration.”

Volunteers would work closely with Council and event organizers to monitor festival operations, advise on planning matters, and evaluate the success of the event. Regular meetings will be held quarterly, with additional meetings scheduled as needed during the peak planning periods.

Application information and other details can be found on the Town’s website at Comox Nautical Days or by contacting Town Hall at 250-339-2202.

The Comox Nautical Days Festival will mark its 66th anniversary this year and is the longest-running outdoor festival in the Comox Valley.

It takes place each year on the long weekend in August and has attracted crowds of over 40,000 to enjoy live entertainment, activities, food vendors, and more at Comox Marina Park.
