Ribfest Chicago

Event Details

What ignited in 1999 as a community block party has exploded into one of Chicago’s most anticipated street festivals. Averaging 50,000 pounds of ribs and BBQ from more than 30 restaurants, Ribfest Chicago is expected to draw more than 60,000 people.

While ribs reign supreme, Ribfest Chicago is also a nationally recognized indie music festival, hosting two stages that feature original music from top local and national acts. And parents love our “Kids Square” with two days of family fun allowing children to slide, climb, jump, ride, dance and enjoy live entertainment all weekend long.
