HOPE VOLLEYBALL SUMMERFEST WILL RETURN ON JULY 11th, 2026!

HOPE VOLLEYBALL SUMMERFEST WILL RETURN ON JULY 11th, 2026!

Our best-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. 

Stay tuned for an announcement on which Recipient Charities we'll be supporting in 2026!

In the meantime, you can learn more about our 2025 Recipient Charities that will soon be receiving their funding at our annual Celebration of HOPE  here .

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 Glorious Sons, The Beaches, Arkells, July Talk, Sloan, Hollerado, Finger Eleven, Mother Mother, Tokyo Police Club, and Sam Roberts… just to name a few.

SINCE  1982
H.O.P.E. has donated.

+ $4.9 million to
+150 Recipient Charities

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!
