The Rotary Club of Etobicoke is holding its 12th annual Toronto Ribfest at Centennial Park from June 30 - July 3, 11 a.m. - 11 p.m. daily.

“Our goal is to raise about $250,000 for some very important community initiatives, and about 150,000 people will show up. It’s just a great party!” says Justin Di Ciano, co-chair of Ribfest.

The theme for this year’s Ribfest is “eradicate child hunger.” Admission is free but everyone is encouraged to donate at least $2 to the Toronto Food Initiative.

“All of the money that we receive will go to funding various breakfast and lunch programs across GTA, and even internationally,” says Di Ciano.
