Ribfest Chicago 2023
This summer, Ribfest Chicago continues to be Chicago's most anticipated street festival. Averaging 50,000 pounds of pork and 60,000+ attendees who love to celebrate summer at this three day event, you won't want to miss it!
As featured in local and national media, Ribfest Chicago invites all Chicagoland restaurant BBQ masters to compete for the title of "Best Ribs" and "People's Choice." 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!
