Being Canada's biggest rib festival, RibFest has raised over $500,000 for Kamloops charities.
Ribbers attending this year's festival will be all the legends including Boss Hog's, Gator BBQ, House of Q, Misty Mountain BBQ, Prairie Smoke and Spice, and Smoke and Bones BBQ. All six of the ribbers are from Canada, though Gator BBQ was originally based out of Florida.
This year's festival will also have a family fun zone featuring Zumba, a watermelon eating contest, athletics, and more. For the full schedule and more information about RibFest, click here.
