Calgary RibFest is all about the sticky, sweet ’n’ savoury phenomenon that is barbecue. Held in Eau Claire Market’s Festival Plaza on August 25 to 28, the event’s designated “ribbers” will serve ribs, ribs and more ribs, but also pulled pork and barbecue chicken dishes. Watch for eating contests. Admission is free, the food is not. Proceeds support Kiwanis Kids.
