Guelph Ribfest returning as a drive-thru format in August

The Rotary Club of Guelph Trillium says its annual Ribfest is returning in August as a drive-thru format due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

It will be held in the parking lot at Centennial Collegiate Vocational Institute on College Avenue Aug. 27-29.

Last year’s Ribfest was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic with organizers saying then it would be impossible to separate such a large crowd.

The drive-thru allows guests to be physically distanced and it is compliant with public health orders.

“As much as we’d love to host a traditional event, we’re just not ready yet,” organizers said in a post on Facebook.
