17th annual “Smoke This” Rib Fest cancelled due to weather.

We had to make the tough decision to cancel Rib Fest this year due to weather. 

Thanks for bearing with us as we waited on some glimmer of sunshine in the forecast. 

We want to thank our restaurants, our sponsors, our staff, volunteers, and the City of Cambridge for helping with this event for 17 years. We just couldn't put our small businesses in a spot where they may not succeed or put our attendees in the middle of a potential storm. 

Your new mission? 

Many of our restaurants have already started preparing for this weekend. Those ribs need eating. We know you’re up to the challenge.

Follow us on Instagram @EastCambBiz for updates on the following participating restaurants and rib specials. 

Make a plan over the next few days to create a Rib Fest of your own!
