About the Festival

Where sport, culture & community meet.

Ivano Fest is the premier sports and cultural festival organized by St. Joseph’s Syro-Malankara Catholic Church, Vancouver. Since launching in 2024, it has grown into one of the largest and most anticipated community celebrations in the Lower Mainland — drawing over 1,000 attendees and 300 participants every year.

The 3rd edition lands on October 10, 2026 at Pacific Academy in Surrey, bringing together basketball, volleyball, throwball and badminton tournaments, a kids’ costume show, live cultural performances, and food stalls serving homemade Kerala flavours — all while giving sponsors outstanding brand exposure to a diverse, engaged audience.
