Thunder Bay’s annual RibFest will again be a drive-thru event this year.

The organizers have stated this decision was in consideration for the safety of attendees and volunteers.

One thing that will be changing this year is the venue.

An announcement will be made Thursday at 11:00 a.m. from Lakehead University, that will explain where the event is being held and other plans for the festivities.

Award winners Ribs Royal and Dinosaur Smokehouse will return to the city, along with local provider Daytona’s

RibFest will take place this year between August 26 and August 29.
