Downtown Toronto Ribfest returns to Sankofa Square at Yonge and Dundas this weekend with perfectly cooked ribs and other BBQ options from the best ribbers in the city.

The festival runs July 4 through July 6, with ribs being served from noon on Friday until 9 p.m. on Sunday. Admission is free.

Unlike some past editions, there won't be live music or a beer tent this year—the focus is on the food and the outdoor atmosphere of the square. The event brings together top local barbecue vendors to showcase their craft in the heart of downtown.

If you missed ribfest in Etobicoke last week, this is your chance to fill that craving. The Yonge and Dundas location is easy to reach and ideal for grabbing lunch or dinner while exploring the downtown core.
