Toronto Ribfest 2026

One of Toronto’s most anticipated summer traditions is making its way to Cloverdale this June.

Presented by the Rotary Club of Etobicoke, Toronto Ribfest will take place in the north parking lot at Cloverdale, from June 26 to 28, 2026. This family-friendly summer event brings together award-winning ribbers from across North America, live music, entertainment, and fun programming for all ages.

A longtime community favourite, Toronto Ribfest was founded in 1999 by the Rotary Club of Etobicoke and has grown into a signature summer event, welcoming more than 60,000 visitors annually. The festival is 100% volunteer-run, with proceeds supporting charitable programs in Etobicoke and beyond.

Over the past 20+ years, Toronto Ribfest has raised millions of dollars for local and international initiatives. Proceeds support more than 70 organizations, including local food banks, the Jean Augustine Centre, LAMP, Youth Without Shelter, GlobalMedic, women’s shelters, environmental clean-up programs, scholarships, community awards, and many other important causes.

Guests can look forward to great food, live entertainment, family fun, and the chance to support meaningful community initiatives, all while celebrating the unofficial start of the summer season.
