Gatlinburg Annual Rib Fest

Make sure you are at the Annual Rib Fest for finger-licking good barbequed ribs! You will not want to miss an opportunity to try some of the best ribs in the country! Southern cooking is at its best when the best cooks in the south combine all the right ingredients to smoke the competition! Located at the Ripley’s Aquarium of the Smokies Plaza, there will be ample room for everyone to enjoy the wonderful barbeque of Gatlinburg. The fest lasts approximately three and a half hours—which are full of tasting, eating, and commenting on the masterpieces of barbequed meat!

Along with the barbequing, all of the face painting, juggling, and a “hog and cow” calling contest will capture the attention of all the people with red lips and smiling faces. The Rib Fest is $10.00 dollars per person for all you can eat barbeque. You will get an arm band so that you may go to any of the rib vendors to get your plateful. Strip tickets are also available, which means that you pay a dollar for one bone of barbeque, but that’s only for people who are typically not very hungry. Once you have one taste of the wonderful barbeque you will definitely be going back for more!

Proceeds from the Rib Fest benefit the Gatlinburg Lodging and Hospitality Association scholarship fund. So, take part in this great event to help another person go to college! For more information on this event please contact Gatlinburg's Office of Special Events at (800) 568-4748.
