2024 Esquimalt Ribfest

Esquimalt Ribfest: A weekend of BBQ ribs, local entertainment, craft beer, cider and wine, free kid’s activities, local arts, and vendors. With these ingredients, we put together Esquimalt Ribfest for a weekend of the best ribs in the country, amazing local entertainment, delicious beer and cider from local craft brewers, free kid’s games, local arts, and vendors, for guaranteed family fun.

Outside operating costs, all proceeds collected from Esquimalt Ribfest are funnelled back into the community through the Esquimalt Firefighter’s Charitable Foundation. Proceeds go to local charities and school-sponsored activities for our community’s youth.

Esquimalt Ribfest has six professional rib teams that compete to win the coveted People’s Choice. Live music by our best local bands, craft brews, wine, and cider. Free children’s crafts and activities.
