Ribfest Chicago

Ribfest Chicago!

One of Chicago’s most iconic events is back bigger than ever! Ribfest Chicago returns to Northcenter with a date change of August 19th-21st but all of the rest of the event elements that Chicago loves so dearly are in place. It’s ribs, ribs, ribs all weekend long with plenty of cold beer and a stellar entertainment lineup.

Experience top BBQ vendors who offer racks of their signature ribs and sides, while competing for two Best of Ribfest Chicago titles: the People’s choice award chosen by the crowd; and the top award chosen by a panel of celebrity judges.

Although ribs play the starring role, Ribfest Chicago offers so much more. A wide variety of local, non-rib restaurants also offer their signature dishes. There is a family area with plenty of activities and games for the kids and its own stage.
