Festival visitors are encouraged to take part in this exciting competition. To win, you must force your opponent out of the circle! But if you get forced out – or if any of your body parts other than the soles of your feet touch the dohyo (ring) – you lose! There will be two classes determined by skill and weight, all genders welcome.

Pre-registration required. On Sunday, sign up in the southeast corner of Oppenheimer Park between 11:30am to 12:30pm.

The Sumo Tournament originates from the Vancouver Sumo Fun Club and is today coordinated by Vancouver Sumo Training. Emceed by Kimiko Dorey.
