Dear Community Leaders, Media Partners, Dignitaries, Sponsors, Vendors, Judges, Partners, and Friends,
On behalf of Ontario Festival Group and the Ribfest X Tour, thank you for being part of Huntsville Ribfest X 2026!
Over three days at the Canada Summit Centre, we welcomed 5500 attendees for a weekend filled with award-winning BBQ, live music and tribute performances, the Ontario Youth Battle of the Bands, family-friendly activities, local vendors and artisans, and plenty of community spirit.
Whether you joined us for the Welcoming Ceremonies, participated in our judging and awards, performed on stage, joined us as a vendor or sponsor, helped spread the word, or simply came out with family and friends to enjoy the festival, we are incredibly grateful for your support.
We are especially proud to share that $1,500 will be donated to the Huntsville Hospital Foundation, allowing the impact of the weekend to continue beyond the festival grounds and support an important organization within the Huntsville community.
🏆 Congratulations to Our 2026 Rib Team Winners!
