15th Annual Community Rib Cook-Off Fundraiser (Marshfield)

“Come for the ribs…Stay for the music!” Get your wristbands today for the South Shore’s premier amateur rib competition and fundraiser featuring live music, raffle, and fun for the whole family!

The Marshfield Community Rib Cook-off [MCRCO] is a family-oriented fun-filled event supporting charitable organizations who embody the MCRCO’s mission to support local youth and families facing economic hardship and food and housing insecurity. Three thousand+ BBQ enthusiasts gather at the Marshfield Fairgrounds in mid September each year. Teams fire up their smokers as early as 5am that morning and prepare their highly curated rubs and sauces aimed at wowing our judge panel comprised of culinary experts and community celebrities who know a thing or two about great ribs!

While ribs are the main event, there’s so much more – including live music and fun for the whole family! The event features live music from Cindy Lou Music whose sultry and smoky (pun intended) sounds will emanate from the main stage; Duxbury-based upbeat cover band Despite Dwight; and local acoustic legend Jimmy Sylvia. The kids enjoy the annual Touch a Truck event and backyard games.
