$𝟯𝟲,𝟳𝟮𝟱.𝟬𝟬 😲 𝗥𝗔𝗜𝗦𝗘𝗗 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗠𝗨𝗡𝗜𝗧𝗬!

Take a second and let that sink in.

Last year, Ribstock® Festival was created in just a few short months. We didn't know what to expect and, together, we raised just under $20,000 for our community.

𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗕𝗘𝗟𝗜𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗗 𝗜𝗡 𝗨𝗦.

This year...

𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗩𝗘𝗗 𝗥𝗜𝗕𝗦𝗧𝗢𝗖𝗞® 𝗕𝗘𝗟𝗢𝗡𝗚𝗦 𝗜𝗡 𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗠𝗨𝗡𝗜𝗧𝗬.

Together, you helped raise **$36,725.00** for our three charity partners:

• Pathstone Mental Health
• Project SHARE of Niagara Falls
• BGC Niagara

This isn't just a number. It's support for families, opportunities for children and youth, food on the table for those facing difficult times, and hope.

To every volunteer, sponsor, vendor, entertainer, production partner, car show participant, community partner, and every family who walked through our gates...

𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗡𝗞 𝗬𝗢𝗨.

You didn't just attend a festival.

𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗛𝗘𝗟𝗣𝗘𝗗 𝗖𝗛𝗔𝗡𝗚𝗘 𝗟𝗜𝗩𝗘𝗦.

What began as a last-minute idea has become a festival our community can proudly call its own.

This is only the beginning. 💖

𝗦𝗬𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗠𝗦 𝗢𝗡 𝗦𝗠𝗔𝗦𝗛 𝗚𝗢𝗘𝗦 𝗔𝗕𝗢𝗩𝗘 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗕𝗘𝗬𝗢𝗡𝗗!

When planning began for Ribstock® Festival 2026, we got a later start than we had hoped. As a result, we weren't able to secure someone who could take on our automotive attractions.

That's when Reynord Bobb from systems_on_smash stepped up.

Without hesitation, he said, "Sure, no problem Jay."

From there, Reynord took the lead and created what he proudly called the Charity Car Show, bringing together two incredible attractions: the Hog Collar Decibel Bass Bash and the Euro Grille & Chill Car Show. Together, they added an exciting new dimension to Ribstock® Festival and helped make Father's Day Weekend even more memorable for thousands of festival-goers.

As if donating his time, passion, and effort wasn't enough, after the festival Reynord reached out once again with another surprise...

𝗔 𝗗𝗢𝗡𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝗢𝗙 $𝟮,𝟰𝟲𝟱.𝟬𝟬 𝗧𝗢 𝗥𝗜𝗕𝗦𝗧𝗢𝗖𝗞® 𝗙𝗘𝗦𝗧𝗜𝗩𝗔𝗟!

That incredible contribution will be added to our final fundraising total for our local charities.

𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝘁 𝗯𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆. 𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆.

Reynord, and everyone at Systems On Smash, thank you for believing in our mission, donating your time, sharing your talents, and giving back in such a meaningful way. Your generosity will have a lasting impact on our community, and we are incredibly grateful to have had you as part of the Ribstock® family.

Ribstock® Festival would like to extend our sincere gratitude to the Niagara Falls Professional Fire Fighters, for their generous contribution and support of our 2026 Festival.

For generations, Local 528 has proudly served the citizens and visitors of Niagara Falls, not only through emergency response and public safety, but through countless charitable initiatives, community programs, fundraising efforts, and volunteer service throughout our region.

Their contribution helps us continue our mission of bringing the community together while supporting local causes, including Pathstone Mental Health, Project SHARE, and Boys & Girls Club of Niagara.

We are honoured to have the support of an organization that demonstrates every day what community leadership truly means.

To the members of IAFF Local 528, thank you for standing behind Ribstock® Festival and for everything you do to serve our city.

Sometimes its the little unexpected gestures in life that mean soooo much!

On Sunday, my security team told me over radio that I needed to be in our car show area in 45mins. I knew there was no issues and felt they were up to something, but had no idea what!🤔

I went over, and while they were doing some raffle prizes, I was called over.

systems_on_smash and Reynord Bobb presented me with this amazing award!

I cant even begin to describe how good this made me feel inside❤️❤️❤️

Thank you soooo much!!!!!!!

First and foremost, congratulations to all of our Ribstock® Festival 2026 raffle table winners!

The photos attached contain all of the winning raffle table numbers and prizes from Ribstock® Festival 2026.

As we begin contacting winners, we also want to take a moment to thank everyone who helped make this incredible weekend possible.

As we finally wrap up site cleanup and begin returning to our regular routines, we're taking a moment to reflect on what an incredible weekend this was for our community.

In just our second year, approximately 7,400 people came through the gates at Firemen's Park to enjoy three days of live entertainment and special performances, great food, family activities, community vendors, the Father's Day Weekend Car Show, and everything that makes Ribstock® Festival so special.

To every sponsor, volunteer, vendor, performer, donor, community partner, and attendee, thank you. This festival truly is built by the community, for the community, and none of it would be possible without your support.

A special thank you goes out to our amazing volunteers, who spent part of their Sunday evening helping organize and sort the raffle winners and prize information. What a team!

We appreciate your patience as we wrap up an incredible weekend and begin reaching out to winners over the coming days.

If you recognize a winning number belonging to a friend, family member, neighbour, or coworker who may not follow our social media pages, please share this post and help us spread the word.

We would also like to congratulate the winner of the Knights of Columbus 50/50 draw, who has already been contacted by Eddie from the Knights of Columbus and will receive $900 as their share of the draw.

We are also incredibly grateful to the Knights of Columbus, who have chosen to donate their portion of the 50/50 proceeds back to Ribstock® Festival to help support our three beneficiary charities: Pathstone Mental Health, Project SHARE, and Boys & Girls Club of Niagara.

Thank you again, Niagara, for making our second annual Ribstock® Festival such an incredible success. We are humbled by the support and already looking forward to what we can build together next year.

Built by the community. For the community.
