SOCCER FEST

This summer, the Columbus Centre was transformed into something truly special – a vibrant gathering place where sport, culture, and community came together in unforgettable ways.

Columbus Centre Soccer Fest invited fans from across Toronto to celebrate the global game – not just on the field, but through shared experiences that spanned music, art, film, and storytelling.

From June 11 to July 19, 2026, the Anthony Fusco Sr. Courtyard came alive with the energy of 78 live match screenings, where over 9000 fans gathered to cheer, celebrate, and connect throughout the tournament.

The multi-week cultural celebration also featured live musical performances, DJs, soccer-themed art installations, and special programming that honoured the history and cultural impact of the game.

Thank you for being part of this incredible event.

We’ll see you back at the Columbus Centre soon, for more community events and celebrations!
