We are looking for warm, high-energy people who love working with children and can stay in character. We are currently casting for elves for multiple events, including a 6-week venue with multiple hours each day.
We have about fifteen positions for this season, and all positions are paid hourly rates during their events. Rates and contract details will be discussed at the audition.
Our characters are contracted through Winnipeg Santa to provide elf character services throughout the season for our customers. Those selected will be working as a contractor and receive a T4A form at the end of the season.
Auditions are open, but registration is required so we can coordinate the audition times. Auditions will be held at a location in central Winnipeg, and the address will be sent to you after registering.
Costumes are not required for your audition (though if you have an elf costume we'd love to see what it looks like). Costumes required for events will be discussed at the audition.
For those selected, training will begin November 1st, 2026, and our event season will run through
December 31st, 2026. As a contractor, your assignments would be determined by your availability during this period.
Please note, our elf roles are very active, and require standing for long periods throughout an event. We have limited ability to accommodate for this due to the active requirements for each performance.
Our regular event hours will be Monday–Friday, 4pm–10pm, and weekends 10am–10pm, with occasional event times outside of these hours. Being available for as much of this as possible will improve your potential casting.
Upon registration, you will receive a confirmation email, which will outline instructions for the audition, including:
- Location
- Audition format/expectations
- Contact information should you need to cancel or change your audition
- We are looking forward to seeing your best “elf”, and helping make the Christmas season even more magical for thousands of people.
