'Can never have too much barbecue': Ribfest takes over Sparks Street

Thousands of people are filling Ottawa's downtown core this weekend as Ribfest on Sparks Street, the Somerset Street Chinatown Night Market and the Ottawa Asian Fest Night Market at LeBreton Flats run simultaneously, drawing visitors with food, culture and live entertainment. CTV's Josh Marano speaks with Yukang Li, executive director of the Somerset Street Chinatown BIA, who says this year's Chinatown Night Market is the largest ever with 66 vendors, and with Andrew Morrow, a three-year Ribfest regular who says events like these give people a reason to come downtown. Michael Fehr, attending the Ottawa Asian Fest Night Market, says the event reminded him to visit LeBreton Flats more often. All three events wrap up Sunday.
