Victoria’s new pickleball courts in Topaz Park will host what organizers are calling Canada’s first pickleball festival.

The Victoria Pickleball Festival is coming to Topaz Park from August 28 to 30. The three-day event will combine a competitive tournament played on the city’s 11 new courts, which opened last week, an outdoor vendor market and a food garden featuring food trucks and live programming.

“Pickleball is more than a sport right now. It is a movement, and Canada deserves a flagship festival that matches the energy players are bringing to the courts every weekend,” said Brittany Buna, the festival’s founder.

It was Buna’s love for the pickleball community that inspired her to organize a festival to give players an opportunity to get to know each other.

Pickleball players from all over the region are smashing, slamming, and dinking this morning at a pretty big tournament in Sooke, and come late August, an even larger event, one that has organizers talking about going national with it, will take place at Victoria’s Topaz Park.

 

The Pickleball Festival, a three-day pickleball smorgasbord, will feature a tournament for competitive and recreational players across multiple skill levels, with the best competing for the inaugural Clipper Cup. 

 

The tourney, which organizers said will be the first of its kind in Canada, is expected to attract participants from across the region, province, and Washington state. 

 

“Pickleball is more than a sport right now. It is a movement, and Canada deserves a flagship festival that matches the energy players are bringing to the courts every weekend," says Brittany Buna, the festival's founder.
