The Rainbow Trout Music Festival (RTMF) is looking for passionate, fun, and excited individuals to join our board of directors. The RTMF is a festival that is based on volunteer support to make the magic and logistics of the festival happen. While the Board makes decisions about the festival’s overall direction, and each have a specific operational role, there is also an understanding that this is a working board. This means there are often other duties and responsibilities that directors need to take on to execute a successful festival. As a working board committed to volunteer leadership, this is the core of what has built the festival and will continue to make it great.

Vendor Director - Responsible for all vendors at the festival, including food vendors, artisan vendors, event permits, and helping oversee the Roy G. Biv grill. 
 

Requirements:
- To be 18 or older, a Canadian citizen, and not in a state of bankruptcy.
- To be a member in good standing (this requires a $25 annual fee).

Festival Description:
Rainbow Trout Music Festival Inc provides a high quality, low-cost, environmentally responsible
outdoor musical festival that promotes a variety of Manitoba musicians, artists and vendors, and brings  participants to a Manitoba location rich in natural beauty and local history. This volunteer-run, not-for- profit corporation is focused on musical performance, collaborative art making, and exposure to local crafters and food providers.

Festival activities include three days of music, camping, good friends, bonfires, dancing, swimming, and more. RTMF showcases the high level of quality that exists in local music of all genres including rock, electro, hip-hop, blues, jazz, folk, garage, funk, reggae, etc. Its unique programming inspires audiences and challenges the listener and is complemented by occasional activities throughout the year, usually in Winnipeg.

RTMF takes place on the banks of the Roseau River, just south of St. Malo, Manitoba, on the third weekend in August. The site is owned by George and Florence Beaudry, who are close partners and friends of the festival.
