Access to the Ribfest grounds is FREE!  Always was, always will be.  We don’t know how else we can spell this, it’s F-R-E-E.  The entertainment, the kids zone, the athmosphere, all FREE.  Of course, you have to pay for what you eat or buy, or if you want to do rides at the midway, but walking through the even will not cost you a penny!

Please visit https://cornwallribfest.com/entertainment/

to see who’s coming!  But here’s a hint!

Ribfest features a combination of local talent and out of town tribute bands.  Check out the entertainment section for this year’s lineup!

Ribfest features both local and out of town food and dry vendors.

While Ribfest welcomes food vendors, dry vendors and bands from out of town, it is the biggest fundraiser of the year for the Optimist Club of Cornwall, which means that all proceeds generated by Ribfest 100% stay in this community.  The funds go towards youth programs and community events such as the Toy Drive and Breakfast with Santa.

No.  There are benches in the park, but they are few and far in between.  Please bring your own lawn chair.

There is a wide variety of food vendors.  We’re sure you’ll find something just for you.  Please check our the vendors section under “plan your visit” for a list of food available.

Aside for the fact that we need to make sure no alcohol enters the licensed area, we also need to make sure no weapons are sneaked in.  We reserve the right to check bags is we suspect someone of bringing in either.

$18 for a half rack

There is no problems with dogs as long as they are on a leash but we don’t recommend that you bring them at night when there are huge crowds.With the high heat, you also may want to limit their time out.
