WELCOME TO THE 21st ANNUAL HENDRICKS COUNTY RIB-FEST & BBQ! What started out as an Avon Community family event in 2005, the Hendricks County Rib-Fest has become one of the largest local traditions drawing people from all over Hendricks County and the surrounding counties. It features live entertainment, games for kids, hot air balloons, lots of food and fireworks! Local restaurants compete for the "Best Ribs" & "Best Sauce" bragging rights by local celebrity judges.

In addition to Rib-Fest, the community can participate in the 11th Annual Rib Run sponsored by Duke Energy & IU Health West with a 5k run and followed by Riblet Kids Run.
