Volunteers

Being a volunteers, is to give some of his time to live an unforgettable experience!

Year after year, our volunteers are valued collaborators and key actors who are responsible for the success of the New France Festival. We know we can always count on their fabulous energy. However, to avoid large gatherings and ensure the safety of all, the New France Festival 2021 will, exceptionally this year, not offer closed sites. We therefore regretfully announce that volunteers will not be needed this year.
