Ribfest is returning to Moncton!

It will help kick off the summer season in Riverfront Park from June 18 to 21, along with the inaugural Hub City Motorcycle Rally.

Ribfest features award-winning ribbers from across North America, along with other food vendors, entertainment and local artisans.

The Hub City Motorcycle Rally marks the return of a large-scale motorcycle gathering in Moncton. It will include a riverfront vendor village, scenic regional rides, and interactive activities designed to showcase the region’s attractions.

The Rotary Club previously ran the popular free summer event, but announced in 2025 that it would be its last.

Ribfest 2026 will continue the tradition of giving back to the community, ensuring this successful event not only entertains but also supports local causes and initiatives that benefit Moncton residents. More details on the chosen charities will be announced in the coming days.
