| Description: | 19th Annual Ribfest Chicago Chicago's Largest Cookout is Still Smoke-King! 65,000 Fans/50,000 Pounds of BBQ/25 Hours of Food, Fun & Music Chicago's favorite food and music fest lights it up with the coolest bands and hottest barbecue to celebrate its nineteenth summer this year. Nothing beats an original -- Chicago's first rib festival started in 1999 from humble beginnings in a north side parking lot and eventually grew from 5,000 attendees to 70,000 fans in 2014 â the year it was televised to 100 million households and 150 countries on the Food Network's "Eating America with Anthony Anderson." Despite its impressive growth and acclaim, the festival has managed to maintain its neighborhood feel and appeal to a variety of audiences. The BBQ and culinary component has grown from five local restaurants to thirty rib and non-rib vendors, while the quality of entertainment has made Ribfest an internationally-recognized music festival that hosts premier touring bands. More highlights include the celebrity-judged "Best Ribs" rivalry, "RibMania VIII," the Midwest's only professional rib-eating competition, and more! Music, BBQ and summer fun doesn't get any better than Ribfest Chicago. For more information or to purchase an exclusive Ribfest Chicago VIP pass, visit www.Ribfest-********.***.
