Summer is almost here and plans are already underway for Toronto Ribfest 2024

March 4, 2024 by Toronto Newswire

Thousands attend the annual Toronto Ribfest in conjunction with Canada Day celebrations that are already being planned.

Summer is getting closer as organizers of this year’s annual Toronto Ribfest is already making plans.

A bid has been submitted to Etobicoke York Community Council for the approval of a temporary signage permit for the Etobicoke Rotary and Toronto Ribfest 2024.

The event has been a popular annual attraction in the community that has been taking place for years.

You can pretty well smell the mouth-watering ribs cooking on the hot grill on a hot day.

Once again the Toronto Ribfest is being held in conjunction with the City of Toronto Canada Day celebrations.

The mouth-watering event begins at Centennial Park on Friday, June 28 from 3 p.m. to 10 p.m. and runs until Monday July 1 from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., according to organizers.

“I fully endorse the plans to hold this event again, as was done in previous years,” Ward 2 councillor Stephen Holyday wrote in a letter to Community Council.

Its only months before Toronto Ribfest and Canada Day takes place.

The signs are for use to advertise charitable, non-profit and community events that must be removed after the event.

The free event last year featured live music and 10 of North America’s Best Rib Teams serving award-winning mouth-watering BBQ smoked ribs, tender pulled pork, juicy smoked brisket, BBQ chicken, smoked sausage and huge Beef “Dino” Ribs.

There was also a variety of festival foods like The Bloomin’ Onion, Tiny Tom’s mini-donuts, roasted corn, poutines, funnel cakes that was washed down with a cold beer from the Beer Garden.
