Yes! This is a family-friendly event so we encourage you to bring the young and mature. There will be activities for all ages throughout the festival.

Are pets allowed?

Rib Burn Off draws tens of thousands of people each day. This can be an intimidating environment for a pet, even the most well-trained. So although pets are not banned from the festival, it may not be the best place for them.

How do I pay for food and drinks?

There will be a variety of food vendors throughout the festival both Saturday and Sunday. Each of these vendors will take payment at their respective booth. For drinks, there will be two yellow ticket tents on Erie Street selling drink tickets. These can be used for beer, cocktails, pop and water throughout the festival. Drink Tickets will be sold until 9pm on Saturday night and 7pm on Sunday night. Last call will be 9:30pm on Saturday and 7:30pm on Sunday.

Are credit cards accepted for drink tickets?

Cash is the preferred payment for drink tickets. ATMs will be available at each of the two yellow ticket tents.

Are outside food and drinks allowed?

No, outside food and drinks are not permitted inside of Rib Burn Off, this includes purchases from the local restaurants and bars places of regular business (not their booths at Rib Burn Off).

Do I need a ticket to see the concerts?

Will the stores along Erie Street still be open for business during Rib Burn Off?
