Windy City RibFest in Uptown will be back again this year to dazzle your taste buds with melt-in-your-mouth slabs of meat and saucy concoctions. Local and national ribbers such as BBQ King Smokehouse, Chicago BBQ Company, Porky Chicks BBQ, Rancho Mateo (Chicago), Robinson’s Ribs, and Austin’s Texas Lightning BBQ will be offering an array of savory, spicy, and slow-cooked ribs any meat lover will enjoy.
The only thing better than eating ribs is eating ribs and listening to live music. Luckily, Windy City RibFest has you covered with a diverse lineup. Don’t leave the kids at home — there will be arts, crafts, and daytime activities for the kiddos to enjoy too. And keep a lookout for CircEsteem and Uptown Underground making their rounds within the fest as well!
