Downtown Paddle Palooza
Downtown Paddle Palooza Pickleball Festival is an annual pickleball tournament and celebration of all things pickleball. It takes place in Carl Zehr Square and King Street in front of city hall on the fourth Tuesday in August.
This action-packed fundraising tournament welcomes seasoned players and those new to the game. Paddle Palooza offers friendly competition, great prizes, and high-energy vibes all day long!
Proceeds from Paddle Palooza support our Every Kid Counts program, helping to make camp an option for every child and young person in Kitchener by providing inclusion support.
