The smell of barbecue returns to the Riverfront Festival Plaza this weekend.
The annual Windsor Rib Fest takes place from Friday to Sunday.
Co-organizer Victor Anast says this year's event will feature eight ribbers from Canada and the United States.
He says the ribbers will be using St. Louis style side ribs.
"They smoke them for five to six hours," says Anast. "Every rib vendor has different spices that they use on their dry rubs. So really from the second each rib vendor gets their meat to the end product it is completely different from one another."
The event also features nine breweries, live entertainment and a kids zone.
Windsor's Rib Fest is part of the "Northern Heat Rib Series."
