2010 Dates - August 5-7
Updated Jan 29, 2010
Community Advocates Ribfest is August 5-7 at the Arcadia Creek Festival Place in downtown Kalamazoo. The event is a fundraising initiative for Community Advocates for Persons with Developmental Disabilities.
The plans are just starting for the event, and we welcome any comments, concerns or requests for the 2010 programming year. We are starting to look at national acts so give us a call or email to provide affordable suggestions. And, if you cook ribs and think they are "out of this world" great tasting, then you might want to consider joining our first Coof Off scheduled for August 7. Not to be confused with the Best Ribs in Kalamazoo, this event is targed to those who think they have the best ribs, but aren't a restaurant or catering company. If you want more information about this contest, give us a shout.
If you have any questions or suggestions for 2010, you can always give us an email at eventkalamazoo.

What is Ribfest?
Ribfest is Community Advocate’s major fundraising event. Thanks to the support of the people who attended and the businesses that sponsored, $39,000 was raised for programs that are targeted to improve the quality of life for all, but especially to improve the quality of life for our community individuals with developmental disabilities. The money raised through Ribfest supports programs in our community helping people who live in your neighborhoods, work at your place of employment, and maybe go to school with your kids.
Sponsors are the life-line of Ribfest. If your company is interested, please call or e-mail us. Sponsorship packages start at $350 and extend to $2,000. Great exposure, free tickets and a new VIP tent are the benchmark amenities found with every sponsorship level. Plus as a sponsor you are supporting a great community event and an even better charity.
Great ribs, fantastic entertainment, and cooling beverages await you at Ribfest 2009. Stay tuned to this website for updates on: entertainment, the opportunity for on-site corporate picnics, and the availability of Rib Bucks allowing you to pre-purchase tickets, entry passes, and buy food (sold in $5 increments).
