The Third annual Best on the Block BBQ Rib Cook-off is coming up on Saturday August 17th. Visit the Marriott & Sheraton Parking Lot – 7571 Westminster Hwy, from 11am – 2pm for delicious ribs and beer. All proceeds go to the Richmond Food Bank!

Please join us at this fun event and support the RFB, and the approximately 2,200 individuals that we serve each week. Bring some non-perishable food bank donations in exchange for event activities, including a dunk tank throw. 

This annual event is generously organized by the Sheraton Vancouver Airport Hotel, the Hilton Vancouver Airport and the Vancouver Airport Marriott Hotel and hosted by the three restaurants on their block, 75 West, CAVU kitchen bar, and Harold’s Kitchen & Bar.  

Parking at the site is free, so go find out why it’s the #BestOnTheBlockYVR! 

We’re very grateful for this annual event. In 2018, it raised over $5,000 to help our neighbours in need.
