Canada Day - Toronto Ribfest Festival

Ribfest Crowd
This past Friday, I had the experience to enjoy my first ever Canada Day long weekend celebration at the 12th annual Ribfest festival held at Centennial Park. I had no idea of such a event until my friends brought me there. The event turned out to be free and there was at least thousands of people. Basically barbecue specialists from all over North America come and compete against each other for the best ribs. Other than food the festival also provided rides, carnival games, musical performances, and family entertainment. It was a nice sunny day on Friday, so I saw lots and lots of families have the time to hang out with each other. It made me miss my family because they are all the way across the world.








Different Rib Stands
I would highly recommend the Ribfest festival to anyone who not only enjoys food but wants to have a good time. The only issue I had with the festival was that it took way too long for my friends and I to get our foods. The wait was at least 20 minutes minimum for each stand. I was able to try the ribs from last year's champion, Camp 31. I am not a big ribs fan but I did enjoy the ribs with their signature special sauce which had a distinct barbecue and smokey flavor. Thankfully, this years Canada took place on a Friday, allowing families to have a extra day off to spend with their families. Festivals are important towards recreation and community development. It allows for people to get together and have fun.
