    Ready for the ULTIMATE SUMMER BASH?

    Come bump, volley, dance & party
    with us on July 11th & 12th, 2025!

    Our most well-known event and fundraising effort, HOPE Volleyball SummerFest has been THE biggest summer party in Ottawa since 1982. While initially hosted at Britannia Beach all those decades ago, SummerFest just kept on growing… and now takes over Mooney’s Bay Park and Beach every July.

    How BIG?

    We’re talking 10,000 players, 700 volunteers, 40 planning team members, and dozens of sponsors and vendors.
    Prizes for teams! Championship trophies!     It takes a village to put on our tournament, and the Ottawa community always turns up and puts in the work, year after year.

    Our HUGE Rock Show!

    Beyond volleyball, SummerFest also puts on a huge (like, seriously awesome)
    rock show in the Main Bar during the afternoon and evening.

    Over the years, our stage has been graced by ultra-talented Canadian headliners like...
    The Beaches, July Talk, Hollerado, Finger Eleven, Mother Mother, Tokyo Police Club, Hawksley Workman, and Sam Roberts… to name a few.

    The BEST part?

    We do it all for charity!

    Five charities per year, to be exact. Voted on by our H.O.P.E.
    Board of Directors and Membership every fall, the five selected charities become recipients of the funds raised through team sales, concert ticket sales, pledges and donations to SummerFest. These charities are presented with their funds in November following the tournament.

    HELPING OTHER PEOPLE EVERYWHERE.

    It's not just us, you know - it's all of YOU! Your team registration fee is a HUGE part of what makes us able to give back to the charities who support our community. THANK YOU!
