We’re thrilled to share that Cambridge Ribfest & Craft B**r Show has been named a 2026 Cambridge Readers’ Choice Platinum winner for Best Local Festival! 🏆

That means a lot to us, because this event is built around the people who show up every year, bring their families and friends, support the ribbers, local vendors, breweries and community partners, and make Riverside Park feel like Ribfest for the weekend.

So thank you to everyone who voted, everyone who joined us this summer, and everyone who continues to make part of their summer traditions.

We’re already looking forward to doing it all again next year 🔥

Kingston, you came through! 🙌

Thanks to everyone who donated at , this year’s weekend raised $6,820 for Partners in Mission Food Bank, along with 1,074 lbs of food.

That’s more than $1,000 above last year’s monetary total, and a pretty incredible show of support from everyone who stopped by, donated, and helped the Food Bank team throughout the weekend.

A huge thank-you to Partners in Mission Food Bank, the volunteers who worked the gates all weekend, and every single person who gave what they could.

Ribfest is always about good food, drinks, and an even better time, but this is the part that makes the weekend mean a little more ❤️
