Only in it's second year , the Canal Winchester Blues and Ribfest is sure to impress even the classical music loving vegetarian. Not only does the event sport an impressive and easy to navigate website, but the list of musical acts leaves little to be desired.
Performances start at 5PM on Friday and 11AM on Saturday. The variety of acts even includes a rising star from South Africa, who actually kicks off the Friday shows.
Last year, the festival's first, drew a crowd of over 20,000 both days to downtown Canal Winchester. Bruce Jarvis, the Program Director and Main Street Canal Winchester Farmers' Market Manager, said, "our crowd expectations were exceeded by over 300% …it was great!”
Along with the music and large crowds are, of course, the ribs. There are 13 rib burners on the roster this year, along with many food and arts vendors. The rib masters will be competing for the 'People's Choice Award', among other accolades. There are along plenty of planned activities for kids, making the atmosphere very family friendly.
The festival runs Friday, August 5th through Saturday August 6th.
Admission is free and more information can be found at BluesandRibfest.com
