What is Summer Fest

Two Parts.
One Community.

Summer Fest is myFather's House's signature summer event — a celebration of faith, community, sport, and music. Across two parts, we bring together churches from across Ottawa for a soccer tournament and fun sports games, followed by an unforgettable concert and vendor market.

All are welcome. Whether you're an athlete, a music lover, a local vendor, or just looking for something to do this summer — there's room for you here.
