What is Wrestlefest Canada? 

Inspired by the annual event held in New York, Wrestlefest Canada is a social gathering of people interested in wrestling - from submission, to pro, to freestyle, to boxing.

 

Chat about your favourite wrestlers or wrestling matches, trade wrestling gear, watch wrestling, and wrestle with guys who have similar interests. 

While we will have some meet and greets, there's no formal format to the event. Most of us attending are guys who are turned by or have an interest in wrestling, and want to meet others who feel the same way. While the majority of participants are gay and bisexual males, everyone is welcome.
