Description:
Ribfest Chicago XVI
2014 Dates Announced
50,000 Fans/50,000 Pounds of BBQ/25 Hours of Food, Fun & Music
Ribfest Chicago celebrates its Sweet (and Spicy) Sixteen this year and we couldn’t be more excited. From humble beginnings in a local parking lot, Ribfest relocated to Lincoln Avenue and eventually grew from three blocks to five blocks, from a two-day event to a three-night party, and from 5,000 attendees to 55,000 fans. The BBQ component has grown from five local restaurants to twenty-five rib and non-rib vendors, while the quality of live entertainment has made Ribfest Chicago a nationally-recognized music festival that hosts top local and touring bands.
Music, BBQ, Chicago and family fun in the summer doesn’t get any better. Highlights of the event include our celebrity-judged “Best Ribs” award, the amateur rib-eating competition and “RibMania,” our professional rib-eating competition featuring several Top Ten ranked eaters and sanctioned by IFOCE/Major League Eating. It’s no wonder that Ribfest Chicago is annually ranked highest in the Chicago Reader’s poll for Best Food Fest.
WHAT: Ribfest Chicago returns with more smokin’ music and barbecue as we cook up some new twists for Chicago’s favorite festival, which will take place:
Friday, June 6, 2014 - 5 pm to 10 pm
Saturday, June 7, 2014 - Noon to 10 pm
Sunday, June 8, 2014 - Noon to 10 pm
A nationally-recognized music festival, our twenty bands are a hot blend of Indie, pop, indie roots and alt country for one of the most unique lineups in the city. The 5th Annual RibMania features 10 top-ranked professional eaters at the Midwest’s only sanctioned rib-eating contest on Friday night, and families can spend the weekend in Kids Square enjoying entertainment, inflatables, games and more. Visit www.Ribfest-Chicago.com
Ribfest Chicago has contributed nearly $250,000 to Northcenter schools and nonprofits in an effort to improve education and fight hunger, in addition to funding chamber projects and annual programming.
$5 Donation requested to benefit Northcenter philanthropy programs. Sponsored by the Northcenter Chamber of Commerce.
WHEN: Friday, June 6, 2014 - 5 pm to 10 pm
Saturday, June 7, 2014 - Noon to 10 pm
Sunday, June 8, 2014 - Noon to 10 pm
Kids Square open Saturday – Noon to 8 pm, & Sunday – Noon to 7 pm
WHY: Proceeds benefit Northcenter Chamber initiatives, annual community programming, greening and beautification efforts, the School Grant Program and charitable funding approved by the Chamber Philanthropy Committee.
