Montreal’s beloved Ribfest is returning in 2025, promising to be bigger and better than ever. Presented by the SITN Foundation—the same organization behind successful fundraising events like Strangers in the Night and Beats N’Eats—the festival continues to offer a vibrant summer experience with free entry all weekend long. Guests can indulge in mouth-watering, finger‑lickin’, belly‑rubbin’ good BBQ, along with a variety of other delicious eats, a marketplace, and live entertainment.
This year’s Ribfest will take place on August 15, 16, and 17, with exciting new additions to the lineup. For the first time, the festival will feature headlining acts on both Friday and Saturday nights, enhancing the entertainment experience and giving Montrealers even more reason to come out and celebrate. With great food, great music, and a welcoming community atmosphere, Ribfest 2025 is shaping up to be an unmissable event.
