Description

Join us this summer at Ribfest- one of Kalamazoo's oldest festivals that features two solid days of food, entertainment and fun! Ribfest is a two-day event at the Arcadia Creek Festival Place in Downtown Kalamazoo. As one of the original festivals held downtown, Ribfest is now in its 34th year and attracts over 10,000 people each summer. Proceeds from the Kalamazoo Ribfest go to benefit the Arc Community Advocates, who work with individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities to empower them to live a life that is fully included in the community and advocate on their behalf. The event features national and local rib vendors that sell meats in outstanding barbeque sauces. To complement the rib vendors, additional food vendors will be offering side items and sweet treats to top off the food experience at Ribfest. The event will also bring in national rock and country musical artists, local bands, plenty of fun activities including children’s crafts/games, and the exciting contest for Best Ribs in Kalamazoo. This year's headliners include Pop 2000 Tour, Sister Hazel, and Puddle of Mudd.
