Food

The Best BBQ You Will Ever Taste!

With our delicious BBQ ribs, pulled pork, BBQ chicken and tasty sauces, it’s no wonder that Details magazine listed Ribfest as one of its four “Ultimate Festivals” for BBQ in their May 2008 issue. Our rib vendors pride themselves on their individual recipes. No two are the same. In fact, each year our rib vendors compete for Best Ribs and Best Sauce. Let us know which one you like best.

Miller Lite and Pepsi Tents

Along with great food on a summer day, you might want a cold beverage while at Ribfest. Miller Lite and Pepsi are strong partners with Ribfest and our fight against child abuse.

More Than Just Ribs!

Have a taste for something other than BBQ? No problem, Ribfest offers a wide variety of food, desserts and festival fare.

Besides being a wonderful festival and fundraiser to fight child abuse and domestic violence, Ribfest is also a nationally recognized BBQ contest. Our 16 rib vendors compete for cash prizes and honors in three categories: for the Best Ribs, Best Sauce and Kid's Choice.

Fun

Many fun family activities are going on daily at Ribfest.  Come and check out the carnival, inflatables, magic show, the Eurobungee, petting zoo and much much more.
