Naperville's Ribfest tickets now on sale

Tickets are now on sale for Naperville's annual Ribfest celebration, which runs from July 3 through 7 in Knoch Park near downtown.

Organizers from the Naperville Exchange Club said tickets are $12 if purchased online or $15 at the gate. Children 11 and younger are admitted free with a paying adult.

Admission tickets give visitors access to the park, including the carnival area, family area, food vendors and the musical entertainment.

This year's headliners are Styx on July 3, Casey James and Love and Theft on July 4, Slash and Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators on July 5, Rick Springfield on July 6, and Lynyrd Skynyrd on July 7. Tickets are date specific and can be purchased at ribfest.net.

Over the past 26 years, Ribfest organizers have donated roughly $13 million in proceeds to more than 50 area agencies that work to eliminate child abuse and domestic violence.
