This popular family-oriented Community Festival is entering its 22nd year in Perry Square Park, Erie, PA on May 30 – June 2, 2012.

All four days during the festival, the National Touring, Award-Winning BBQ Cooking Teams will be preparing the very best in BBQ cuisine for our visitors.

This “kick-off” event to summer in the region is also host to local and regional stage entertainment, the RIB Kidz FUN ZONE, the BIG Kids Zone, an Arts Market, delicious festival foods, on-site promotions, informational booths, merchandise vendors, product-launches, give-aways, sampling, exhibits, lunchtime entertainment in the dining tents, contests and ice-cold beer on the Plaza.

The Erie Rib Fest takes place each year on the Wednesday following Memorial Day.  Even though our social media campaign has already begun to the whet the appetites of our BBQ aficionados, their taste-buds will just have to be patient. The real excitement will begin to unfold at lunchtime on May 30th when the local office workers will vacate their buildings to satisfy their BBQ cravings.  The influx will continue with families making their way to downtown, Erie from several local and regional counties in the tri-state area.

Sponsorship and Marketing opportunities are available for companies that are looking to be associated with an event; one that is managed by a company with a proven track record, that enjoys longevity in the community, has a respectable reputation and one that attracts families with children with largest demographic between 25 to 54 years.

WALTER’S MEATS  – DONATES A WHOLE FRESH PIG!

When you visited the 2011  – Erie’s Wild Rib Cook Off & Music Festival and walked along Rib Row you couldn’t miss seeing the fresh whole pig roasting on the spit.  This fresh 70+ pound whole pig was provided by a local company Walters’ Meats and tended by the grill masters in the Bad Wolf Barbecue Booth.

All day, the Friday of Rib Fest, people filled out a card for a free chance to win the Whole Fresh Roasting Pig.  As the day progressed the slow-cooked pig took on a golden glazed appearance and by late Friday is was ready to be the main course at one lucky winners private party.  At the end of the day, a name was drawn from the basket of entries and we are pleased to report that Penny Keller is the WINNER!!!  Penny received the call on Friday evening that she was the lucky winner of the FREE DRAWING for the Fresh Roasted Pig and she was elated.
