Toronto Ribfest is an annual ribfest held in Centennial Park in Etobicoke, Toronto, Ontario, Canada during the Canada Day weekend.

Overview

[edit]

The Toronto Ribfest is run by the Etobicoke Rotary Club. The festival is not for profit, volunteer run and gives all proceeds to charity.[3] The festival takes place each year around the Canada Day weekend. The festival features rib vendors (which travel from all over North America), live music and beer for sale.[4][5][6] The festival also includes many child friendly activities.[6][7]

History

[edit]

The Toronto Ribfest was inaugurated in 1999.[1] A drive-thru only event happened in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Toronto.
