sportsfest

After a few years hiatus, SportsFest returns in Port Colborne, Feb. 10- 12, 2023, for a weekend filled with sports and activities for all ages and interests across the city. Several local charities benefit too, with proceeds from various events donated to the Port Colborne Fire & Emergency Services Fire Prevention Program, Light of Day Foundation, and Special Olympics Ontario.

“SportsFest provides the community with an opportunity to get out, PORTicipate, and enjoy all that Port Colborne has to offer and we are thrilled to have it back after a few years off,” said Mayor Bill Steele. “We are grateful for the support of community groups and local businesses, offering sports tournaments, free family fun, and activities for music lovers and foodies, too.”
