Autograph signing will be available after the judging!

We are currently putting this years show together. It is sure to be another weekend filled with great music, fun for the whole family and of course, all the ribs you can handle. Check back for updates like the stage and music schedule, lists of vendors, a menu of great food and which ribers will return once again.

Ribfest is a family event – there is something for everyone – delicious food, great music, midway rides, lots of children’s activities, numerous vendors with a large selection of items for sale, plenty of community groups, a licensed area, and best of all – succulent mouth-watering ribs!

As an added bonus, parking is FREE and admission is by voluntary donation. Proceeds from your donations will go to support children with special needs in our community and support the Clarington Older Adults Centre!!!

Ribfest just keeps on getting better and this year we are bigger than ever! This is the one summer event you cannot miss! So, bring mom, dad, the kids, grandma, grandpa, aunts, uncles, cousins, the neighbours, and anyone else you know who enjoys a great time! We do have lots of tables for you to dine on but when it’s a full house you may want to bring along a lawn chair or picnic blanket so you have somewhere to park yourself.

In order to ensure a safe and fun family event we do have a few rules. Please remember:

Pets are not allowed at Ribfest – please leave Fido or Fluffy at home.
No outside food is permitted at Ribfest.
No open beverage containers can be brought in through the gates.
Entrance and exit through the main gates only

Please drink responsibly. Arrange for a designated driver, bring some taxi or keys to us money so you can have a great time at Ribfest and land home safely.
