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.
Thank you to everyone who registered a team, bought a concert ticket, or made a donation in support of our incredible charities in 2026!
