Rhythm & Ribs

This year, we have appointed a vendor committee to evaluate our vendor plan to accommodate a new municipal safety plan and evaluate applications to place priority on merchants that offer homemade and locally sourced goods or our local and regional businesses. Additionally, due to the recent economic changes we have adjusted vendor fees to help offset our costs for putting on a free festival.
 
While we appreciate all our past vendors, we understand that these new prices and more defined criteria will eliminate some of you that have been with us in the past. Certain local service providers and non-profits will be given the opportunity to sponsor the event for recognition, but representation will look different than previous years. For those of you that will be unable to attend this festival, we encourage you to continue communicating with our tourism office to learn about other festivals and events in Tifton. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to the 13th annual Tifton Rhythm and Ribs BBQ Festival being a great success.
