Support the Prevention of Child Abuse and Domestic Violence

Ribfest is a fundraiser put on by the Exchange Club of Naperville to raise funds to help fight child abuse, domestic violence and to strengthen families in our local communities. We are proud to be celebrating the 34th year of Ribfest and to date have contributed over $18 million back to our community to support this effort.

Ribfest blends community, entertainment, and of course award-winning ribs from vendors across the country.
