Ribfest hosted by Exchange Club of Naperville - Wheaton, Illinois

Fun 4th of July hangout at Ribfest Naperville.

A good selection of BBQ to choose from. Since all of them are award winners, I guess u cant really go wrong with any ribbers.

We chose Howling Coyote, tasting their ribs and brisket sandwich. Both were gooey succulent meats. Their apple based BBQ sauce was delicious.

Besides the ribs, our kids enjoyed the children area with bouncy castles and the best is a petting zoo, with lots if goats, cows, donkeys, chicken and sheep.

There's also a decent sized carnival area with various rides.

Went to ribfest in tinley park and had amazing time!!! The food venders were so good, the people who played music were top notch, and they had a cooling station with mist raining on you. I will be going again next year

The event just doesn't live up to the Ribfest brand. The new location, although convenient for parking, doesn't bring the same energy as downtown Naperville.

Additionally, no petting zoo, no rides, and few booths lead to a lackluster experience.

The kids play area has a few hay balls and some bags sets. Also, the inflatable area (three inflatables) becomes downright dangerous with the wrong group of kids as there is no staff monitoring and many parents would leave their young kids to their own devices, making it awkward for parents who were concerned for their kids being around rough behavior.

Although I will continue supporting the noble cause, the experience itself is very underwhelming and disappointing.

Will not support this event in the future, after multiple failed communications they never got the information out on proper refund policy. Stated individual refunds would be processed after event and now event had ended and they retract that statement and tell us just to donate the funds. If you had stated your refund policy from the beginning us ticket holders could have planned accordingly. Posting late saturday that tickets could be transferred to any date is not acceptable without any email sent to ticket holders. Do the right thing and process the refunds we were promised by your staff...

I am very disappointed in the way they have handled the cancelation of Toby Keith. I understand it is not their fault and I understand it is a not for profit. However I spent over $1300.00 dollars for VIP seating. This is a good cause I just don't feel like I am being treated fairly. I will not attend any events for this not for profit in the future.

Hoping they don't F us all over on these tickets that were supposed to be for Toby Keith. I never used them for another day and opted out of the "donation". I was told that it would be used as future credit. Hope u keep ur word! Waiting on the line up better be as equal as Toby Keith!
