LITTLE TOWN
BIG SPIRIT

Experience Canada Day weekend in the 1000 Islands with fantastic food, great entertainment, and lots of family fun.

The smallest community to host Ribfest in Canada welcomes over 19,000 visitors every year. The Rotary & Lions Clubs of Gananoque give 100 percent of proceeds back to the community. They support charities, families and students and lead projects that positively change Gananoque and the 1000 Islands area. 1000 Islands Family Ribfest is a safe and clean event that everyone can enjoy!

EXPERIENCE

LOCAL AT ITS BEST

SUPPORTING BUSINESSES AND ARTISTS

1000 Islands Family Ribfest strengthens community through local partnerships. That is why local businesses, organizations and performers are showcased throughout our event. Ribfest is an amazing opportunity for our local community on a personal level. Businesses get to give back in positive ways and local artists and musicians get to showcase their talent in front of friends and family, while performing for larger crowds when developing in their music careers. Discover the best of our local talent!
