Summer Ribfests to Check Out in the GTA and Beyond

There’s nothing quite like the smell of gourmet meats grilling on a hot summer day! Ribfest offers rides, activities, and plenty of kid-friendly food, making it a perfect outing for families.

This summer, discover Southern and Eastern Ontario by visiting various Ribfests! Enjoy local attractions and grab a meal at one of these fun events.

 

If you’re heading to Peterborough, take a cruise through the Liftlocks or enjoy a canoe adventure with the kids. Spend some time at Cobourg Beach; check out Scarborough Bluffs or stroll through Rosetta Mc Clain Gardens in Scarborough; visit Pickering Museum Village or relax at a lovely waterfront park in Pickering; marvel at stunning waterfalls in Hamilton. With just a bit of planning, you can create great family memories or have an awesome date with your partner.
