It is with sadness and regret that we announce the cancellation of the 2020 Hartford Rib Off. We have watched as events in Connecticut and our surrounding states have cancelled, while still being hopeful about our ability to move on with our event. Unfortunately, due to uncertainty about CT state guidelines and the status of the virus in coming months, and of course our need to keep all of our attendees, volunteers, pit masters, judges, and vendors safe, we made the difficult decision to say we will see you in 2021. We will be working to plan virtual fundraising events to benefit our charities over the coming months, and as always, thank you for your support. What you need to know:
Any non-refunded ticket pre-purchased for the 2020 Rib Off will be valid in 2021. If you wish to roll your ticket over, there is nothing you need to do except wait for June 2021 to see us again.
