Berea's National Rib Cookoff Memorial Day Weekend

Welcome to the home of Berea's National Rib Cook-Off, presented by Southwest General Hospital! The Berea City Club is excited to bring you the 2012 Cook-Off. We have lots of great music lined up for the long weekend.

Friday night is Bike Night, so bring out your Harley, grab a cold one, and eat some of the finest ribs in the country while enjoying great music. If you're bringing a bike, you can pull right into the fairgrounds and park in our bike corral.

The complete entertainment schedule is still in the works, but will be posted here as soon as it's available, so be sure to check back.

And remember, 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!

2012 CALL FOR ARTISTS & CRAFTERS

Berea's National Rib Cook-Off invites artists and crafters in all disciplines to display and sell their works at the Cook-Off.

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

Journey cover band Arrival to perform Friday night

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.

Boasting more award winning ribbers than any Cleveland area rib fest, those who love barbecue think we're tops. After all, what better way to celebrate a great American holiday than with great American food (and what could be more American than barbecue?)

We look forward to seeing you all this Memorial Day weekend!
