Park Closing Due to Crowd Capacity: The decision to close the gates of Ribfest due to crowd density is the decision of the City of Naperville Police Department in concert with Ribfest leadership. Their decision to close for public safety is based on the ability of people to get out of the park in case of emergency. Crowd density is determined by examination of the flow of people primarily by the music stage. If the walkways remain open and clear and people can move around, the city will keep our gates open.
