Welcome to Berea's National Rib Cook-Off & Beer Fest, one of the premier events in the Cleveland area! For nearly a quarter century, people from all over Northeastern Ohio have gathered at the Cuyahoga County Fairgrounds in Berea to enjoy this annual Memorial Day Weekend celebration. The Cook-Off is made possible by the hard work of the Berea City Club, Inc. The festival features Area and National Rib Teams competing for First, Second, and Third Place in categories such as Best Ribs and Best Sauce.

Alongside the mouthwatering ribs, you can also indulge in other traditional fair foods. The festival offers a variety of entertainment options, including live music, a Children’s Activity Area, and a Beer Fest. By attending this event, you contribute to the Berea City Club's mission to improve the community.

Join us from May 26-29, 2023, and be a part of this memorable gastronomic experience!
