Who do we love? Dad! What does Dad love? Ribs! Give Dad what he loves this Father’s Day weekend at the 21st annual Ribfest Chicago! That’s right – the city’s most highly anticipated summer festival is moving to June 14, 15 and 16 in 2019!

Located in the beloved Northcenter neighborhood, you can expect high-quality and diverse food selections and premier musical entertainment!

Since its inception, Ribfest Chicago continues to pride itself as a festival for the whole family. And there’s no better way to celebrate Dad this Father's Day weekend than with world-class ribs from over a dozen vendors including some of the best-known spots in the Chicago-area. With 30 total food vendors, the menu is vast and includes all your favorite meats, sweets and festival treats. And while you’re there, raise a glass with us – it is our 21st after all!

And did you know Ribfest Chicago has received the honor of "Best Food Fest" an incredible five times and was featured on Food Network? But delectable fare isn’t the only strong suit. Ribfest Chicago is also a nationally-recognized music festival, hosting only the best original indie artists. Just last year, it was named a top festival in Chicago by BizBash (North America’s #1 resource for event planning professionals).

Grab your grub and get into one of Ribfest Chicago's many lounges. Take it up a notch with a VIP experience that includes a charging station and a private air-conditioned restroom trailer. And, of course, VIPs jump to the front of the drink line every time.

Family entertainment will include music, dance, games and crafts. Other weekend highlights include the Celebrity Judging and People's Choice competitions to award the prizes for Best Ribs. Pick up your ballot at the festival gate to help decide who should take home the title.

Ribs, music and celebrating Dad doesn’t get any better than at Ribfest Chicago!
