Full Notification

It is with regret that we announce the cancelation of this year's Rockin Rotary Ribfest due to the storms we experienced overnight bringing us heavy rainfall and ground saturating rains.

The safety and enjoyment of our attendees, vendors, and staff are of utmost importance. After thorough assessments of the event grounds, it has been determined that the current conditions pose significant risks. Heavy rains such as what we experienced overnight made the grounds unsafe for attendees and vendors. Standing water and muddy conditions create hazardous walking and driving surfaces, increasing the risk of accidents and injuries.

Other factors such as ground stability from saturation, the safe operation of electrical equipment, and working conditions for our vendors all are important factors in making this decision. We want to ensure that everyone will have the best possible experience, which is not feasible under the current conditions.

We understand the disappointment this cancelation may cause as the Rockin Rotary Ribfest event is a staple in our community.  We look forward to its return next year under more favorable conditions. We appreciate your understanding and support as we prioritize health and safety. #lithpd
