Northern Heat Rib Series
Until about seven years ago, Ribfests in Ontario, complete with live entertainment, midway, and various kinds of fair foods, were organized by Rotary, Kinsmen, Lions clubs and BIAs, and proceeds went to local charity work and causes. In 2016-17, the Northern Heat Rib Series disrupted the scene with a for-profit event.
The event series slowly grew over the years and the Northern Heat Rib Series will be back this year at 15 locations.
Enjoy live entertainment and kids’ zones in addition to ribs from some of the best rib teams in North America and beer this summer in Ontario.
