ABOUT THE PICKLE FESTIVAL:
Rosendale International Pickle Festival is held once a year, on the 3rd Sunday of October. We host over 100 vendors who sell pickles, groceries, hot food, baked goods, crafts, fashion, jewelry, and more. There’s a home pickling contest and the Pickle Triathlon offers a pickle eating contest, pickle juice drinking and a pickle toss. Up to 7,000 people visit the Pickle Festival every year. All proceeds are donated back into the Rosendale community every year.
