The Rotary Ribfest, Niagara’s biggest and best summer festival and one of our major fundraisers takes place every Civic Holiday weekend (first weekend in August) in Montebello Park, St. Catharines. Attended annually by approximately 5,000 visitors, the RibFest is built around a number of "ribbers" from the US and Canada who sell thousands of pounds of ribs and chicken. Admission to the park is free and the event also includes live music, a large area with activities for kids as well as a number of crafters and vendors.
