Hey Moncton... LET'S GET SAUCY!
From June 18 – 21, 2026 RibFest Moncton will play host to the best Ribbers on the Canadian professional BBQ circuit. Each year over 20,000 rib fans converge on the festival site located in River Front Park on Assomption Blvd. in beautiful Downtown Moncton. While festival goers savour lip-smacking, finger-licking ribs & sides, they can also experience great musical entertainment, grab a beverage in the beer garden, shop the vendor village, and enjoy exciting sights and sounds of the Hub City Motorcycle Rally. This family friendly community event also partners with the United Way who will be running some on-site fundraising activities.
