How to get to Ribfest Parking at Ribfest The Oakville Family Ribfest and its suppliers continue to focus on a number of environmental initiatives and remain committed to environmental sustainability. Among them, ribbers and vendors are taking steps to reduce waste by using biodegradable and recyclable serving vessels and supplies. Our efforts have been recognized by the Recycling Council of Ontario, who in 2014 presented Ribfest with a Bronze award for waste minimization. Several environmentally progressive best practices are being employed at Ribfest with the help of all our vendors and volunteers. We're Green!
