Cornwall Ontario – Summer has arrived and with it comes one of the region’s tastiest events – the Cornwall Seaway Lions Club Ribfest.

Ribfest will be held at Lamoureux Park from Friday July 24th to Sunday July 26th, allowing people to head down to the banks of the St. Lawrence River and indulge their love of ribs. As a bonus, festival organizers have once again organized a line-up of live entertainment.
