Ontario Festival Group & Ribfest X are committed to eliminating all single-use plastics at our events, including water bottles, cups, containers, and utensils. We encourage guests to bring their own reusable water bottles, which can be refilled at our onsite water stations. All reusable water bottles must be emptied before entering event grounds.
