DULUTH, Minn. – Thousands of pounds of ribs were smoked down by the water at Ribfest at Bayfront Festival Park.

The festival gave patrons a chance to try many different flavors like fajita or habenaro mango.

It is a festival that organizers are excited to bring back.

“There used to be a Ribfest in Duluth many years ago we brought this back this concept back. I think it’s great everybody loves ribs, everytbody loves beer, and everybody loves music so it seemed like a natural fit going into Labor Day Weekend,” said Walt Aplin the event manager of Ribfest.

Organizers hope to make Ribfest a yearly tradition.
