Clash of the Cukes
Calling all local restaurants and pickle makers in Charleston!
In 2025, we’re introducing a “Clash of the Cukes” competition to decide who has the best pickles in Charleston.
Cost:
FREE
What’s needed from you:
At least one staff member to run your table
Pickle samples for our attendees
How it will work:
Every person who checks into Pickle Palooza II will receive sampling tickets and a token. You must provide a free sample to any attendee in exchange for one of their sampling tickets. Attendees will then vote for their favorite pickles by placing their token inside the bucket they like the most. The winning restaurant/vendor will be featured in the local press and win a cash prize!
The guidelines:
While we expect many competitors to provide a traditional pickle tasting or something on their restaurant menu, we are encouraging all types of pickles. Whatever your take on pickles is, we want it at the festival. The weirder the better. Fried pickles? Obviously. Pickle flights? Perfect. Pickle wrapped in another pickle? (A pickle inception if you will). Glorious. There is no limit to the weirdness here. Please keep in mind that this should be something that can be made into SAMPLES. If you would also like to sell your beautiful pickle creation in larger quantities, you can do so as a vendor, for which there is a fee.
Sign Up:
To sign up, you can either email jeff@reddevilevents.com or fill out our vendor form HERE, indicating on the first question that you’d like to participate.
