<br />On Saturday, Sept. 13, the Minnesota Building Trades Beyond the Yellow Ribbon will host its 3rd Annual Ribfest, a
<br />community celebration of great food, live entertainment and a meaningful cause. This year’s event
<br />takes place at the 34th Red Bull Infantry Division Headquarters in Arden Hills (4800 Hamline Ave.),
<br />welcoming families, friends and food lovers for an exciting day of fun and fundraising. Admission is
<br />free, but those hoping to sample the mouth-watering ribs will need to purchase tickets at the event.
<br />Now in its third year, Ribfest has quickly become a local tradition—not just for its award-winning
<br />barbecue, but for the purpose behind every plate. All proceeds
<br />directly support Minnesota Building Trades Beyond the Yellow
<br />Ribbon, a vital initiative that provides resources and assistance to Minnesota’s
<br />Service Members, Veterans and Military Families. From emergency support to
<br />community programs, your participation helps ensure those who serve receive
<br />the care and recognition they deserve.
<br />
<br />Whether you’re a barbecue enthusiast or just looking for a meaningful way to
<br />give back, Ribfest has the perfect blend of food, fun and community spirit.
<br />
<br />So mark your calendars, gather your friends, and come hungry—because this is
<br />one event you won’t want to miss. Together, we can celebrate community, honor
<br />service, and enjoy a plate (or two!) of some of the best ribs in Minnesota.
