Harbourside RibFest
The Rotary Club of Halifax Harbour is excited to welcome the community to the ninth annual Harbourside Ribfest at the Waterfront. This year's festivity will feature a diverse selection of five rib trucks alongside vibrant local vendors, set to attract thousands of attendees. Our event not only offers a delightful culinary experience but also serves a greater purpose, with all proceeds being channeled into supporting numerous local and international charities through the Rotary Club's efforts.
Mark your calendars for an unforgettable experience from June 28 to July 1. Over the years, Harbourside Ribfest has made a significant impact, raising over $500,000 for various charitable causes and drawing up to 81,000 attendees in a single weekend. This year, we're taking the excitement to a new venue, enhancing accessibility for our loyal attendees and extending a warm welcome to new faces.
Ashley Butt, Chair of the Harbourside Ribfest Committee, shares the enthusiasm, "We are elated to bring Ribfest back to life this year with even more entertainment and in a fantastic new location. And with an entry fee of just $2, it's an event not to be missed!"
