Congratulation to Ignacio Joakin of Halifax for winning our 50/50 jackpot!

Congratulations Ignacio Joakin of Halifax for taking home $7,030 in our 50/50 raffle at our Harbourside Ribfest fundraising event last weekend! And a huge thank you to all of you who bought tickets and attended in support of our Club’s projects that help people in need locally and abroad!

🌞 We all survived the heat... now we'd love to hear what you thought!

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who joined us at Harbourside RibFest 2026. Whether you came for the ribs, local food vendors, shopping, live music, cold drinks, or simply to spend time with family and friends, you helped make this year's event an incredible community success.

Harbourside RibFest is much more than a festival—it's a community fundraiser. Every ticket purchased, every drink enjoyed, every 50/50 ticket bought, and every visit helps Rotary Halifax Harbour support local community projects and organizations.

Now we're already thinking about next year, and we need your help.

Our survey takes just a few minutes to complete, but the feedback is invaluable. Every dollar we spend improving the things that matter most is another dollar that can go back into supporting our community instead of being spent in the wrong place.

📝 Please take a few minutes to complete our survey: https://rchh.ca/rib2026

Thank you again for making Harbourside RibFest 2026 one to remember. ❤️

Thanks to your amazing support, our rib trucks have officially sold out of ribs! 🍖👏

🍖 Today's your last chance! 🍖

Harbourside RibFest is open TODAY from 11 AM to 7 PM at Alderney Landing!

What an incredible weekend it's been. We've loved seeing thousands of you enjoying amazing ribs, supporting our local food and merchandise vendors, listening to live music, and helping Rotary Halifax Harbour raise funds for important community projects.

It's a little cooler today, which makes it the perfect day to grab some barbecue, enjoy a cold drink, and spend a few hours by the waterfront.

🔥 Don't forget our 50/50! Last year's winner took home more than $13,000, and every ticket sold supports Rotary Halifax Harbour's community projects. You can even buy your tickets online without leaving home!

Before you leave, be sure to:
✅ Vote for your favourite rib truck at the Information Booth.
✅ Complete our visitor survey for a chance to win a one-night stay for two at The Westin Nova Scotian.
✅ Visit all of our incredible local vendors—you might discover your new favourite!

Thank you to everyone who has supported this year's event. If you haven't made it down yet, this is your final chance!

We'll see you at RibFest! ❤️🍖🇨🇦
