Volunteer Call-Out: The World in a Block Party

Scarborough Arts is seeking enthusiastic volunteers to support The World in a Block Party, presented as part of a Destination Scarborough initiative in partnership with Eat More Scarborough.

These large-scale, free public events will celebrate Scarborough’s rich arts, cultural, and food identity by transforming everyday public and private spaces into vibrant, multi-day block party experiences. Featuring artist-led activations, food tastings, recreational events, live music, and performance, the events invite residents and visitors alike to experience the creativity and diversity of Scarborough in new and immersive ways.

The first weekend will take place at Birchmount Community Centre and Park on Friday, June 12 and Saturday, June 13, 2026, with community activities supported by Borough FC. The second weekend, presented in partnership with Scarborough Town Centre, will take place on Saturday, June 27 and Sunday, June 28, 2026 at STC.

Volunteers will play a key role in helping bring these events to life, supporting guest experience, site operations, and general event coordination.

We are looking for individuals who are:

• Comfortable being on their feet for extended periods, including in sunny outdoor conditions

• Able to lift up to 25 pounds as part of light setup and event support duties
