Ready or Not, Here Comes Ribfest

Erik Sorensen (Video)

Hey Chicagoans, get your bibs, wet naps and appetite ready, ‘cuz here comes “Ribfest“!

The festival started off as a community block party in ’99 and has grown into the highly anticipated, finger-licking phenom that it is today. It may not be “The Taste”, but for true rib lovers, this is just as good. Enjoy the Saturday and Sunday sun while perusing table after table of ribs and vote on which restaurant will take home the “Fest Fave” award. Every mouth counts.

Ribfest also provides you with plenty of entertainment for adults and kids alike. “In true Ribfest tradition, we’re bringing you some of the best music you’ll hear all summer-and won’t hear at other festivals! Bring the kids! Our famous Kids Square provides hours of entertainment for kids of all ages … allowing children to slide, climb, run, complete, jump, ride, sing and dance all weekend long.”

Musical guests include:
Boho Paisley
Rafter
Company of Thieves
Skybox
Treaty of Paris
Inchworm
Republic Tigers
Ha Ha Tonka
