FAQ

What can I bring?

  • Can I bring my pet?
    Please leave all pets at home.

  • Can I bring a lawn chair?
    Yes! We will have picnic tables for people to sit and eat but you are welcome to bring your own along!

  • Can I bring a cooler?
    No. Just like you wouldn’t bring your own beer to a bar, or your own pop to a restaurant, we ask that you support the vendors of Ribfest.

About the Event

  • How are alcohol sales going to work?
    Yankton Ribfest will be selling beer and malt beverages. Customers will be ID’d at the designated sales points. All proceeds from alcohol sales help to grow the event!

  • Can I eat the ribs from the amateur competitors?
    These are not licensed food vendors and their food is primarily for competition and to feed their team.   ​
