The Annual London Rib-Fest is entirely operated by the Boys' & Girls' Club of London and is held during the Civic Holiday weekend. This year marks the 19th Annual London Rib-Fest. All proceeds go to Club to provide affordable recreational activities for children, youth and seniors in London.
The London Rib-Fest is the largest festival of its kind in Canada and second largest in North America. Each year, over 120,000 people attend the event over the five day span in downtown Victoria Park.
Eleven restaurants from Canada and the U.S. take part in the "Best Ribs in Canada" competition. Two LABATT beer tents host adjoining entertainment stages, one with nightly karaoke and the other with a line-up of professional entertainment. In addition to our ribbers, there are fifty craft and food vendors set up throughout the park. We have fun for all ages with face painting, kiddie rides, games and inflatable attractions for the kids and much more. The Merry go round ride is FREE!
