Canada’s Largest Ribfest 2024 is Almost Here
Have you cleared your calendar for the Labour Day weekend? Because Canada’s Largest Ribfest is rolling back into Burlington’s Spencer Smith Park from August 30th to September 2nd, 2024. It’s a full-blown BBQ celebration that’s been sizzling for 28 incredible years.
Your Ultimate BBQ Experience
Over a dozen of the most legendary rib teams from across North America, all gathered in one spot, will fire up their smokers and battle it out for the title of “Best Ribs, ” “Best Chicken,” and “Best Sauce.” The smoky, mouth-watering aroma alone is worth the trip, but wait until you sink your teeth into those tender, sauce-slathered ribs.
But don’t worry if ribs aren’t your thing (though, how could they not be?). You’ll find plenty of other delicious eats, from juicy chicken and spicy sausages to classic funnel cakes and creamy ice cream. No one’s leaving hungry.
What Else to Expect
Beyond the BBQ, a whole world of fun awaits you at Canada’s Largest Ribfest 2024.
