Our 36th Annual Rib Burnoff was a HUGE Success - thank you to all who supported and attended the event!  

The Strongsville City Club 2022 Rib Burnoff is in its 37th Year and going strong. Annually, the event draws world-famous rib vendors to compete for the award “Best Ribs” in Strongsville. The entrants serve up thousands of slabs of ribs to the crowd of over 20,000 hungry attendees. In addition to the ribs, various other vendors will provide festival food and drinks. This year, we’re pleased to announce Fireworks on Friday evening and the return of our annual Cornhole Tournament on Saturday.  As always, the entertainment is No Additional Charge to all our attendees. So, sit back, eat some ribs and enjoy the music on a beautiful summer weekend.

Entertainment:

The Strongsville Rib Burnoff has Major Local Entertainment groups to provide our visitors with music and fun for the entire family. There is a different group each night, playing a variety of different music styles from many eras, allowing you to come back and hear a different group each day. The Music Groups perform in our Gazebo, in the center of the Strongsville Commons, so that they can be heard from all corners of the grounds.  On Friday evening, there will be a spectacular fireworks display for all to view (rain date will be Saturday)!

The Strongsville City Club continues to provide FREE Entertainment everyday of the Rib Burnoff. We have never charged a separate admission for the entertainment, it is all part of your $5.00 donation at the gate.
