The much-anticipated Comox Valley RibFest returns to Village Park, Cumberland, August 21-23, 2026.

This 3-day Food & Music Festival features 5 professional Canadian rib teams, 7 local food truck vendors, 17 live local music acts, a Kids Zone with bouncy castles, a Beverage Tent with local breweries, winery and cidery, and an Artisans Alley featuring 20 local creators. RibFest's dedicated Green Team keeps the festival as eco-friendly as possible.

Entry is by donation, with proceeds supporting local and international Rotary initiatives. Organized by Strathcona Sunrise Rotary Club and Rotary Club of Comox Valley.

Volunteers needed: RibFest is entirely volunteer-run, and organizers are still short on sign-ups this year. Shifts are available across all three days, with each one earning a $10 Rib Buck voucher and a volunteer t-shirt. Visit www.comoxvalleyribfest.ca and look for the Volunteer tab to sign up.
