Thank you very much for your interest in volunteering at Ribfest!
We appreciate all the volunteers who helped us at the 2019 Ribfest. If you are interested in Volunteering at our 2022 Ribfest, you can sign up after May 16, 2022 It will be our 24th Annual Ribfest! The dates for 2022 are Friday, August 26th to Sunday, August 28th, 2022.
Ribfest has been voted Guelph's best outdoor event and, with your support as a volunteer this year, we can make it even better.
Many volunteers are members of the Rotary Club of Guelph Trillium or family members or friends. Other Rotarians from Guelph's other service clubs also lend a hand. Community volunteers are very welcome and absolutely critical to our delivering a successful event to the community. We will also be looking for Community and Sports teams to volunteer for Table and Park Clean-Up shifts in exchange for a donation to their organization. Contact Donna Graham at 519-400-4628 for more information on those opportunities.
Returning Ribfest volunteers should sign up here now!
