This September, Regina will play host to the Queen City Ribfest event, which combines barbecue competition with all the entertainment of a major cultural festival.
Ribfest will feature five acclaimed barbecue masters, or “ribbers”, as well as an equal number of local food trucks vying to prove they have the best ribs around. There will be a celebrity-judged competition to crown a champion, with participants including Boss Hog’s, Prairie Smoke & Spice, and House of Q. Visitors are encouraged to sample as much pork and other food as they can, including beef ribs and brisket, chicken, and classic side dishes, with volunteers handing out favourite recipes and Pig Tales activity Books for younger visitors. The festival grounds will also include a beer garden sponsored by Rebellion Brewing.
Queen City Ribfest will also include live music featuring performers such as Andino Suns, Blake Bergulund, and JJ Voss. The stage will also feature the competition judging. Food-based festivals such as this have become a popular way for foodies to sample local options, with tools such as poster printing and social media photography often used to raise awareness of events. Funds raised from Ribfest will go towards Carmichael Outreach, a charitable organization which supports people experiencing poverty and homelessness.
Queen City Ribfest is set to take place between September 23 and 25 at City Square Plaza in Regina.Get a Free Quote for Books
