Absolutely! With today’s changing demands, we have a wide variety of meats that are gluten-free and halal. Most trucks have gluten-free BBQ sauce.

Can I bring outside food or drinks?

Outside food and drinks are not allowed, as Ribfest relies on food and beverage sales to support the event and give back to the community. However, exceptions may be made for special dietary needs or infant food/formula. Please check with event staff for more information.

Ribfest features an inclusive space where guests can freely enjoy their meals with an alcoholic beverage; just not in the kids zone. Remember to bring your ID if you are under 30 years old.
