  • Vendors are placed at the discretion of the PickleFest planning committee.
  • The Pickle Festival reserves the right to restrict the sale of items considered to be of dangerous or of a destructive nature (examples: weapons, firework novelties, laser pointers, etc.)
  • IMPORTANT! The Pickle Festival has a non-discriminatory policy but reserves the right to refuse vendors based on products and reserves the sole right to request removal of any products that it feels are not suitable, such as anything related to violence, including weaponry, 2nd Amendment imagery, discrimination, vulgarity and any materials regarding political campaigns and candidates including flags, posters, t-shirts, hats, etc. (with the exception of voter registration). No politicking!
  • We reject many applications because they’re selling products our returning vendors are already selling.
  • Vendor Feedback from last year was taken very seriously. Our new location at the Ulster County Fairgrounds had its challenges and was a great learning experience for us. This year we have taken many of your suggestions into account and hope to do our best for a smooth festival.
