COVID-19 Update





July 22, 2020





We have been closely monitoring the impact of COVID-19 and feel that in the best interest of the health and safety of our community, the 2020 Kingston Ribfest & Craft Beer Show, scheduled for September 11-13 be cancelled.





We love our #KingstonRibfest community. Yes, it’s about enjoying ribs and craft beer, but anyone who’s been part of our event knows it’s more than that. Charities, vendors, artists, staff etc., there are many people and businesses impacted by the cancellation or postponement of events. We know that losing social events, gatherings, concerts and all of the many things we do as groups of people is a tough loss. Ultimately we feel it’s of the utmost importance to do what’s best for the well being of our community and bring people back together only when we know it’s safe to do so.





We are heartened and hopeful that our situation in Ontario is improving, and would like to thank everyone who has taken measures to help protect our collective safety and well being.





We would also like to take this opportunity to express our gratitude to the thousands of people who support the Kingston Ribfest & Craft Beer Show, and to everyone who makes the event possible each year.





We can’t wait to see you again and wish you good health in the meantime.
