At 11:00 AM tomorrow, we officially open the gates on a weekend we’ve been working incredibly hard to bring to our community.

But before the first rack of ribs is served, we need to take a moment to say a HUGE THANK YOU to our incredible sponsors. ❤️

Medicine Hat Ribfest simply would not happen without you.

Your generosity, support and commitment help us bring award-winning BBQ, live entertainment, the Family Fun Zone, Show ’n Shines, local vendors, activities and so much more to downtown Medicine Hat — while helping us keep Ribfest a FREE event for our community to enjoy.

Whether you helped keep the grills fired up, supported our entertainment, made our Family Fun Zone possible, helped with equipment, services, supplies or simply stepped up when we needed it — YOU are a part of what makes Ribfest happen. 🙌

To every sponsor, business, volunteer, vendor, entertainer and person who has helped bring this weekend together: THANK YOU.

And Medicine Hat... NOW IT’S YOUR TURN! 🔥

Come hungry. Bring your family. Grab your friends. Stay for the music. Check out the cars and motorcycles. Let the kids have a blast. Enjoy an ice-cold drink. And most importantly, come experience the incredible weekend this community has helped us build.
