What is Ribfest?
The St. Catharines Ribfest is a free to enter, 4 day, family friendly event where funds raised, are donated to Niagara Charities.
​
Expect more than just ribs, we have a TON of other food options like the iconic blooming onion. We also have a kid play zone, live music, local vendors and a new setup this year with so much more!
