Ribfest 2020

We've hosted all sorts of acts from Vince Neil, Survivor, Lita Ford, Spin Doctors, Everclear, Joan Osborne, En Vouge and so many great local acts, that I'm excited to get back to the fun in 2021. Enjoy a blast from the past

So I started doing some research on the perfect beers to pair with ribs, for if we were going to Ribfest, or, in the case of 2020, maybe doing a home-made DIY Ribfest on your patio. And as the search results came up, I thought, this is right in my wheelhouse.

There is yet still hope if you'd like to put on a Kalamazoo Ribfest of your own.

On behalf of The Arc, thank you for your donation, and we'll rock out (and rib out) in 2021!

Covid-19 cancelled yet another event. But here's how you can help the charity behind Kalamazoo Ribfest.

The Arc Community Advocates has been a leader in Southwest Michigan by supporting individuals who experience disability and their families to have an important and contributing role to play in our community.

Unfortunately, due to Executive Order 2020-110 (COVID-19) (June 1, 2020), The Ribfest Food Truck event presented by Firekeepers Casino Hotel has been cancelled.

This is all the basic mask wearing/physical distancing you've come to expect when attending an event mid-pandemic, but it's helpful to get a rundown of what to expect before you attend.

We will be hosting all of your favorite LOCAL Ribfest vendors at Gull Meadow Farms for a Food Truck event on Saturday, July 18th from 3:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m.
