Ribfest Chicago 2011 - 50,000 Fans/50,000 Pounds of BBQ/25 Hours of Fun & Music

Ribfest Chicago is returning with more smokin’ music and barbecue than ever before. The Committee is cooking up some new twists for Chicago’s favorite festival which will take place:

Friday, June 10, 2010 - 5 pm to 10 pm
Saturday, June 11, 2010 - Noon to 10 pm
Sunday, June 12, 2010 - Noon to 10 pm

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 2 dozen restaurants, Ribfest Chicago 2011 is expected to draw more than 50,000 people.

As a nationally recognized music festival, we host a hot blend of Indie, pop, Indie Roots, rock and alt country for one of the most unique band lineups in the city. The 2nd Annual RibMania features a dozen professional eaters in the Midwest’s only sanctioned rib-eating contest on Friday night, and families can spend the whole weekend in Kids Square to enjoy live entertainment, inflatables, games and more.
