Ribfest
St. Petersburg, Florida, USA
Mid NovemberDescription
Ribfest is a fun filled three- day festival that offers something for everyone. It is a classic rock concert, a rib lovers paradise, and a great family get together. There are Corvette Car Shows and Harley Davidson Shows for the big kids, a children's entertainment area and arcade games for the little kids, and of course, the best ribs in the world! All of this takes place in November in a beautiful park on Tampa Bay, in downtown St. Petersburg, Florida in Pinellas County. Ribfest is also a charity fund raiser, with all proceeds going to All Children’s Hospital, child abuse prevention programs, college scholarships and other children related charities. The members of the Exchange Club of Northeast St. Petersburg have been volunteering their time for over a decade and have raised over a million dollars through this event, all of which goes right back into the St. Petersburg area.
