About the Festival

Welcome to Pickle Palooza III, A Briny Bash!

 

The largest pickle festival in the Southeast organized by Red Devil Events is returning in September!

 

Pickle Palooza returns bigger, brinier, and bolder with a full weekend takeover. From high-energy dance parties to the ultimate pickle festival and a laid-back Sunday brunch market, this is the only weekend where being extra is encouraged, especially if it’s extra crunchy.

 

Not a pickle lover? No worries! In addition to everything pickled, there will also be plenty of regular dish options.

The Basics:

 

  • What: PICKLES!
  • When: September 18-20, 2026
  • Where: 1734 Signal Point Rd, Charleston, SC

New in 2026:
