Leamington Ribfest is back this summer

Planning is underway for this year's Leamington Ribfest.

The free event is scheduled for July 21 to 23 at the Leamington Agricultural Society Fairgrounds.

“We want people to be able to come and enjoy the atmosphere, and be a part of the event," said Chris Glassford, organizer. “ It is important that the community takes part in these events, and enjoys them, as that’s why we host events”.

There will be four award-winning barbecuers on hand for this year's event. There will also be carnival rides, a car show, vendors, and other entertainment.

Organizers of the Leamington Ribfest are still looking for sponsors and local business partners.
