Mark your calendars on Aug.2-5 for the inaugural Mission Ribfest, set to bring a new wave of culinary excitement to Fraser River Heritage Park.
This vibrant event, brought to life by The Greater Vancouver Food Truck Festival in partnership with Total Event Co. and BC Shop Local, is a weekend for community, cuisine, and celebration.
Mission Ribfest will feature six of Canada’s top ribbers, including Prairie Smoke & Spice, Smoke Dem Bones, Guerilla Q, Boss Hogs, Gator BBQ, and the exclusive Grizzly BBQ.
These culinary maestros will serve up their best ribs, creating a feast for the senses.
The community-oriented event encourages attendees to vote for the People’s Choice Award, which will recognize the most exceptional ribber on site.
Complementing the ribs will be an assortment of local food trucks and a beer garden, offering a range of delicious eats and craft beverages.
The event doesn’t stop at great food.
Attendees can also explore a local artisan market, showcasing unique crafts and goods from the region. For families, the festival will have face painting, rock wall climbing, and bounce houses located in a dedicated Kid Zone.
There will also be live local entertainment all weekend long and tons of fun partner activations to ensure everyone, from the youngest to the oldest, has a memorable time.
A portion of ticket sales and gate proceeds from Mission Ribfest will support Youth Unlimited Mission My House, enhancing services for local youth.
Early ticket booking is recommended and can be done through the official website.
