Kelowna Ribfest returns to City Park from July 4 to 6. 

The popular summer event promises three full days of delicious barbecue, live entertainment, family fun and free admission.

Five national, award-winning chefs will be serving up mouth-watering ribs, pulled pork sandwiches and more. Visitors can also grab a bite of vegetarian-friendly options, and sip beverages from local breweries and cideries.  Non-alcoholic choices will also be available.

“We are really excited to bring Ribfest back to Kelowna, this has all been made possible through the support of our community, our sponsors, vendors and the five national rib chefs,” said Christina Ferreira, with Impact Events + Brand Management, the producers behind Ribfest 2025.

Held in City Park, the festival opens Friday, July 4 at 3 p.m. and runs through Sunday, July 6 until 7 p.m.

Saturday is ideal for families, with a Kids Zone open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., while live music and entertainment will run all weekend long. The Vendor Village will offer shopping experiences from local businesses.

“Supporting Ribfest isn't just about coming out to spend the day enjoying great food, drink and live entertainment — you are also supporting dozens of small local businesses,” Ferreira said.
