So I went today and wanted to share my thoughts about it.

Got there before they opened, had a massive line but we got in pretty quickly. Right from the get go I noticed that a **ton** of vendors were using AI art that all looked exactly the same. It was pretty atrocious to see, and was disappointing. I really wish the venue would have banned AI art.

That aside, the main pavilion hosted pickle beer, pickle Jell-O shots, and pickle vodka. It’s $5 a shot or $6 a beer, so keep that in mind.

All of the vendors have samples, but they do it from the same line that you make purchases from, so the lines get backed up incredibly long. That being said, most of the lines that were super long, had terrible pickles. The stand outs were Epic Pickles, Mr. Crisp Pickles, and the booth next to theirs that I can’t remember the name of. All very solid choices.

The food there ranges from $9-$15 except this one AI slop place that has pickle grilled cheese sliders at 4 (they’re on crustini style bread) for $22, which is insane, and after we left we got all the ingredients for like $6 and made our own.

The non-pickle centric vendors are pretty good, the stand outs being Blind Spot nut butters who had amazing peanut butters and nuts, and there was a place with hand etched beer mugs/glasses/wine glasses that are super cheap.

It was a decent time, with atrociously long lines, very little shade, and shoddy cell phone reception that made all the vendors struggle with card payments.

I probably won’t go again but figure for anyone going tomorrow you have a heads up
