Often referred to as the "Kickoff To Summer", Happy Harry's Ribfest has been providing quality food and entertainment for over 25 years! 

Featuring award-winning national rib vendors and nightly national music acts, Happy Harry's Ribfest has become an annual tradition for food & music lovers alike. 

Join us outside the FARGODOME every June for 4 days of food, music & fun for the whole family!

Nicknamed the “official kick-off to summer” with the country’s best rib vendors, top-notch entertainment, family activities as well as averaging over 50,000 attendees, Happy Harry’s RibFest is a top attraction in Fargo/Moorhead. The event has been held in FARGODOME’s parking lot for over 22 years and each year it just gets bigger and better.

Guests enjoy free parking, free admission, 2 free sides and the first 100 people receive a free premium gift during the Lip Smackin’ Lunch Special from 11am - 1pm Wednesday-Friday. There is also free admission and parking during Riblet Fest on Saturday from 11am - 2pm with tons of activities for families to enjoy.

?Throughout the week, seven national rib vendors are vying for the Critics Choice Award and cash prizes. Area judges, selected by the RibFest Committee, will base their decisions for the competition on appearance, tenderness, and most of all, taste.

Ribfest-goers have plenty of lip-smackin’ options to indulge in during this 4-day event and the highlight of each night is the stage entertainment. It’s hard to resist an outdoor concert by a nationally known band on a beautiful June evening in North Dakota.
