TORONTO'S HUB FOR THE QUEER WRESTLING COMMUNITY
WHO WE ARE
WrestleFest Toronto is a community. We aren't a formal league, company, or organization. We're simply a group of members of the queer community who share a passion for wrestling and want to create fun, inclusive events for everyone.
​
From sweaty open mats to our flagship July WrestleFest weekend, from casual socials to high-energy parties, our events are all about connection. Whether you’re brand new and curious, a lifelong mat rat, or just looking for a space where queer men can bond over a shared interest in all things wrestling, you’ll find your place here.
We strive to create a space where everyone is welcome—regardless of experience, skill level, orientation, or gender-identity. What matters most is showing up, having fun, and building friendships both on and off the mats.
Why get involved? Because it’s more than just wrestling. It’s about community, confidence, and creating a space where we can be ourselves while celebrating the sport we love. Whether you’re stepping on the mat, cheering from the sidelines, or meeting new friends at one of our socials, WrestleFest Toronto is your invitation to join in.
Come roll with us, sweat with us, and connect with a community that knows how to bring the fun.
NEW TO WRESTLING?
WE GOT YOU COVERED!
Our New to Wrestling is designed to help you feel confident whether you’re stepping onto the mats at an open mat, connecting with wrestlers online through forums like MeetFighters, or just curious about how things work.
Inside, you’ll find info on the common types of wrestling, practical tips on what to expect at events, and general guidance on how to meet wrestlers from online forums safely.
​
It’s the perfect starting point for anyone looking to dive in, make connections, and enjoy everything WrestleFest Toronto has to offer.
