Rain or Shine
Come join us for great food and entertainment on the beautiful and spacious grounds of Anheuser-Busch. This family-oriented event will feature nationally renowned professional “ribbers“ and local award-winning restaurants providing mouth-watering ribs for everyone to enjoy. Add great entertainment for children and adults and you have a recipe for fun and excitement. As the official New Hampshire State Barbecue Championships, you will experience some of the best grillers and BBQers in the northeast vying for title of New Hampshire Barbecue Grand Champion.
The Rock 'N Ribfest is the signature fund-raising event for the Rotary Club of Nashua West. The Club is a service organization made up of business and professional leaders that sponsor many hands-on skills projects and donate money to local community organizations through its fund-raising efforts. Your participation in this event will help assure that the people and organizations in need of help will get the resources they need.
Last year was a FANTASTIC YEAR! We had great weather and over 25,000 attendees. People soaked up the sun as they listened to great music while enjoying great ribs from eight "Ribbers" who came from as far away as Indiana and Canada. Local Ribber, T-Roy's BBQ won the 2007 People's Choice Award and was joined by other local vendors, The Sausage King and Bruster's Ice Cream. The kids had a blast on the rides, activities, and entertainment while Rob Holland dazzled the crowd with his aerial acrobatics. We expect another great year and hopefully more good weather, so get ready, get set, and come to RIBFEST 2008!!
There are a number of off-site parking lots providing ample parking. A shuttle bus system will help you get to and from the Anheuser-Busch site with ease. Check out the site and parking maps in the Directions section.
Check out the rest of the web site to see what great food and entertainment will be offered this year.
For the second year, Nashua West Rotary and Anheuser-Busch are pleased to offer MILITARY APPRECIATION DAY on Sunday. Military personnel and their families (maximum of 5 family members) get into the event for FREE on Sunday. With the sacrifices that our military and their families make to protect our freedom, we wanted to give something back. This small token of appreciation is our way of saying thanks.
The Rock 'N Ribfest is one of the few events of this type offered in New England and the Anheuser-Busch facility is proud to host the event at their facility.
Can you think of a better way to start your summer?
