Community Advocates Ribfest

Community Advocates’ Ribfest is a major fundraising event for Community Advocates for Persons with De­vel­op­men­tal Dis­abil­i­ties. The money raised through this event enables the agency to make it possible for each person with a developmental disability to participate fully in all aspects of community and to support the effort of each individual to determine his/her own future. And in 2009 we made more than 4,600 contacts to assist people with disabilities and their families of all ages in Kalamazoo County to do just that.

The 3-day event is hosted at the Arcadia Creek Festival Place in Downtown Kalamazoo. The event features ten national and local rib ven­dors along with food vendors of­fer­ing fried veggies, pasta, and traditional food, plus ice cream.
