The Rosendale International Pickle Festival is in it's 25th year. There's pickle vendors from all over the East Coast, a food court, plenty of grocery and craft items, in addition to a wide variety of entertainment and contests throughout the day. Join us under the Big Tops at the Rosendale Community Center! Founded 25 years ago, Bill and Cathy Brooks, along with their visiting friend from Japan, Eri Yamaguchi, decided to hold a small pickle festival, expecting 200 people, over 1000 showed up. Operating as a non-profit, the Pickle Festival has given over $150,000 back into the community since 1997.
