Ribs and Blues takes place in the Netherlands during the Whitsun / Pentecost weekend every year.

A large blues and roots festival attracting over 50,000 visitors.

An event for young and old, there’s a great atmosphere with entertainment for the whole family.

Playgrounds, Kids Adventureland, international street performers and a festival market set up in small houses built in the style of the US old south.

And as the name implies, lots of juicy spareribs to eat.
