We love our 'big kids' and little kids at Ribfest. Bring your kids to Oshawa Rotary Ribfest & Music Festival this year and have them participate in our FREE face painting, hosted by Pika Pika Parties and sponsored by Oshawa Power Generation. Move along to the LivingRoom Community Art Studio, sponsored by Novus Automotive, and adults and children alike, can sit down and create beautiful art FREE of charge. They can also participate in the community art project. New to Durham Region, is Chester's Wacky Riders. A mechanical plush animal ride is also available for a nominal fee. Join us at the Midway, hosted by Astro Amusements. These rides are paid directly to Astro Amusements, a family run organization in business since 1979.

Without the incredible help and support of our sponsors, in cash and in-kind, this event would not be possible. Please take the time to see who in our community was able to step-up and help us raise the much-needed money for our community. If you have a chance, please support their businesses too. If you are out at Ribfest, stop by the booth at Novus Automotive, and thank them for their generous contribution. The City of Oshawa has also generously provided us the space, picnic tables, and staff for cleanup. Without these two presenting and signature partners, and all of the other partners listed, this FREE event would not be possible. THANK YOU.
