Thank You Guelph

On behalf of the Rotary Club of Guelph Trillium, a sincere Thank You to our community for supporting Guelph's 25th Ribfest, August 25 to 27th, 2023. Our 25th Annual Ribfest weekend saw almost 40,000 people come through the gates from Friday to Sunday. 517 Bikes were safely parked by Guelph Coalition for Active Transportation (GCAT). Thousands of pounds of BBQ ribs were consumed.

Congratulations to our Winner of 50/50 Draw was Kevin C of Guelph $4186

A big thank you to our sponsors, rib teams, food vendors, businesses, community partners and especially to a big thank you to our incredible volunteers. During Ribfest 2023 over 220 friends, families, Rotarians, and community members helped fill over 790 volunteer shifts, providing over 2376 volunteer hours to deliver another successful Ribfest to our community.

We could not have had such a successful Ribfest without you!

A special thanks to the following volunteer groups for their wonderful table and park clean up work:

Soroptimist International Group https://www.facebook.com/SoroptimistGuelph/

Canadian Federation of University Women - https://cfuw.org/

Dublin Street United Church - https://www.facebook.com/DublinUC/

Guelph Chamber Choir - https://guelphchamberchoir.ca/

Rotary Club of Guelph South - https://guelphsouthrotary.ca/

Guelph Minor Hockey Association - U12 BB 2023-24 - https://guelphminorhockey.com/

We are happy to provide these groups with a donation for their service and help them with their fundraising efforts. The net proceeds from Ribfest Guelph 2023 goes back into the local community as well as a few international projects. Just as important as the funds we raise is the incredible community engagement Ribfest brings to Guelph. We watched old friends meet each other, young children clap with glee at the midway, families congregating at the family tent, and people singing and dancing to the music.
