2023 Festival Update

 
 
Canada’s Largest Ribfest is thrilled once again to be welcoming visitors and volunteers back to Spencer Smith Park!  2022 saw a return to our large-scale in-person event.   150,000 people came out to help us mark our 25th in park edition.  We couldn’t do it without the help of hundreds of dedicated volunteers.  Sign up now to join in the fun and help our community at the same time.      We are extremely grateful to those who dedicate their time to helping Rotary Burlington Lakeshore & Canada’s Largest Ribfest each year!
