Rosendale International Pickle Festival

The 27th Annual Rosendale International 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 5,000 people visit the Pickle Festival every year. All proceeds are donated back into the Rosendale community every year.

We meet (almost) every Wednesday at the Rosendale Recreation Center. We project the sheet music onto a large TV, and no songbooks are distributed in advance. $5 optional contribution, with a portion going to our Ukulele Donation Fund (currently earmarked for veterans in Kingston).
