Port Moody Ribfest 2025 – Ribs, Beer, Music & Community at Rocky Point Park

If you love smoky, tender, fall-off-the-bone BBQ ribs, mark your calendar for one of the most mouthwatering festivals in Metro Vancouver – Port Moody Ribfest 2025, taking place from Friday, July 18 to Sunday, July 20, at the stunning Rocky Point Park. Hosted annually by the Rotary Club of Port Moody, Ribfest is a community favourite that brings together seven award-winning ribbers, live music performances, a park-wide beer garden, and family-friendly fun – all for a good cause.

Since its launch in 2015, Ribfest has grown to become Port Moody’s largest annual community event, drawing over 50,000 visitors across the Tri-Cities and beyond. It’s not just about the food – Ribfest supports dozens of local charities and programs with all proceeds reinvested into the community.

🔥 The Ribs, The Ribbers, The Experience

This 3-day BBQ extravaganza features seven top ribbers from across North America, each with their own unique flavour, sauces, and secret techniques. Come hungry and taste your way through the best slow-cooked brisket, Texas-style turkey, pulled pork, and, of course, BBQ ribs slathered in rich, smoky sauce.

But the real star of the show? Rusty’s BBQ in the Rotary VIP Lounge, offering an elevated rib experience that’s hard to beat.
