CLEVELAND — The annual Berea National Rib Cook-Off and Beer Fest is returning this weekend!
The event is taking place at the Cuyahoga County Fairgrounds beginning on Friday, 24 and running until Monday, May 27.
During the event, 10 rib teams from across America will compete for the titles of Best Ribs, Best Sauce and People's Choice.
The event features something for everyone in the family, from delicious food to entertainment, to activities for children, including a rock climbing wall and an inflatable bounce house.
“Working with the good folks at the Berea City Club on what has become the official kick-off to Summer in Northeast Ohio has been incredibly rewarding,” said Scott McCance/Yuengling Chain Account Manager. “Celebrating our 11th Anniversary at Berea’s National Rib Cook-Off & Beer Fest has been a win-win for an organization that gives so much back to the community."
