The Connecticut Pickle Festival is New England’s ultimate pickle experience of the year, and it’s brinier, crunchier, and more dill-icious than ever! Get ready to roam our famous Pickle Patch, where guests can sample pickles from across the country — that’s right, unlimited pickle sampling for all. If it’s pickled, brined, or boldly dill-forward, you’ll find it here. Be on the lookout for our beloved Pickle Pablo Mascot, strutting through the festival grounds, dancing, snapping photos with fans, and spreading pickle cheer — all while guests sip on pickle martinis and pickle shots.
Hungry? You’re in for a real pickle feast. Guests can sink their teeth into an outrageous lineup of pickle-themed eats including fried pickles, pickle pizza, pickle shaved ice, pickle fries, pickle-topped ice cream, pickle shish kabobs, pickle quesadillas, Kool-Aid pickles, dill pickle kettle corn, pickle pasta salad, plus classic carnival treats and sweet favorites. Throughout the weekend, the stage comes alive with a Country, Pop, and Rock-themed live music lineup, setting the perfect soundtrack for dancing, sipping, and celebrating. And don’t miss our fan-favorite competitions — the legendary Pickle Eating Contest and the hilariously messy Pickle Juice Challenge!
New this year, grab your boots and get ready for the Pickle Hoedown — a high-energy, country-style dance party where pickle lovers can two-step, line dance, and hoedown with Pickle Pablo himself. Expect big tunes, bigger laughs, and the most fun you’ve ever had with a pickle in hand.
For our 21+ guests, enjoy custom pickle cocktails, pickle-infused liquor, and all your traditional drink favorites throughout the day. Come hungry. Come thirsty. Come ready to pucker.
