All 40+ vendors you'll find at Vancouver's dill-icious pickle festival
Love pickles? Well, you’re in luck, because Picklefest (a.k.a. Canada’s largest festival dedicated to pickles) is returning to Vancouver for its second year.
The one-day-only event will take over Vancouver’s City Centre Artist Lodge (211 Main St., Vancouver) and will feature plenty of local restaurants, food trucks, and artisan makers. There will also be live entertainment and the event’s signature Show Us Your Pickle competition.
This will be the second year that Picklefest will be coming to our city, with last year bringing plenty of tasty pickled treats to try, from standard bread and butter pickles to pickle beer, dill ice cream, a pickle hot dog, and so much more.
Picklefest Vancouver
“Picklefest brings together more than 40 vendors for a day of unexpected flavours, live entertainment, and discoveries you are unlikely to find at a traditional food festival. You can come because you love pickles, but you will leave having met new makers, tried something surprising, and experienced how many cultures have their own pickle story,” said Adin Wener, co-founder of Picklefest and Founder of Solly’s Craft Soda.Ā
This year will feature plenty of unique pickle creations with restaurants such as Tacofino, Japadog, Rain or Shine, Buzzy’s Luncheonette, Holy Duck Chili, and so many more.
