Play Longer, Live Stronger

The Vernon Hills Park District is excited to present the 7th Annual Little Bear Ribfest on August 18-19, 2017. Although the event is coordinated by the Vernon Hills Park District, this community event is a perfect example of municipal agencies, community groups and local businesses coming together to host this spectacular event. Little Bear Ribfest truly belongs to you. We rely on the generous support of our business partners to ensure that we continue to secure the best musical headliners as well as some of the best ribs in the country. Whether you have been a partner since 2011, or supporting this event for the first time, we invite you to be a part of this growing event. In addition to supporting this community festival, your financial support will allow us to provide much-needed resources for our Family Scholarship Fund.
