JarvisFest is organized by a dedicated committee of volunteers made up of community members. While there’s a common misconception that the Jarvis Lions run the event, it’s actually a collaborative effort. We’re proud to have the support of the Jarvis Board of Trade, local businesses, and service clubs, all working together to bring this festival to life.

To keep the game fun and safe for all players, the tournament uses a sponge ball. This ensures a safer playing experience while still keeping the competition exciting!
