Volunteer Registration

Thank you for your interest in being part of MardiGrass 2023!

We’re always keen to hear from friendly and positive people who want to assist cannabis law reform.
MardiGrass wishes to extend a welcome and many thanks for those who donate their time during this event.
Without you it could not happen!

We appreciate your interest in helping us create an amazing MardiGrass experience for all participants over the weekend.

This year MardiGrass is from May 5th, 6th and 7th, but (as always) it really kicks off many weeks earlier.

We particularly need help with site preparation.
So if you have those skills, we would love to hear from you NOW!

The important thing is that we need volunteers BEFORE the event more than we need them DURING.

We will be accepting volunteers to set up camp and start preparing for the protest from Monday 24th of April 2023.

If you want to be part of the preparations, there are three methods to make contact:
