ALL ABOUT RIBFEST:

As one of the original festivals held downtown, Ribfest has been taking place for more than 20 years and generates an average attendance of 30,000 people during the three-day party.

To compliment the rib vendors, additional food vendors will be offering side items and sweet treats to top off the food experience at Ribfest. The event will also bring in national rock and country musical artists, local bands, plenty of fun activities including children’s crafts/games, People’s Choice Rib Competition, and the exciting contest for Best Ribs in Kalamazoo.
