Brian and I have not attended the Rib America festival in Indianapolis but we do attend the Rib Fest in St. Louis every year. The BBQ is always awesome and music in the great outdoors is a favorite summer activity for us. If you attend the Indianapolis festival, be sure to let us know all about your Rib Fest experience!!
