Berea's National Rib Cookoff Memorial Day Weekend

Who better to help us celebrate Country Night at the Berea Rib Cook-Off than Cleveland's Own Lawless?

There's nothing as American as Harley Davidson... except maybe a good old fashioned barbecue.

This is why the second little piggie stayed home.

Kids will love the mechanical bull, inflatables, and rock climbing tower.

Welcome to the home of Berea's National Rib Cook-Off! This Memorial Day weekend, in addition to boasting the widest variety of award winning ribs of any cook-off in the Cleveland area, we'll also be showcasing the best of local bands. Friday night, admission is FREE! and we'll be featuring up and coming country band The Chrome-Plated Cowboys and fan-favorite, Lawless. Bronson & Herb, Bust Out, and Aftermath will play Saturday, Clayton Brothers, Logan Wells and local sensation Shout on Sunday. Alex Bevans and Cruisin' will round out our fun-filled weekend on Monday. If you're looking to celebrate a great American holiday with some great ribs and music, the Cuyahoga County Fairgrounds is the place to be in Cleveland Memorial Day weekend!
