🚨🥒 KNOW BEFORE YOU GO: PICKLE PALOOZA EDITION

IT’S. FINALLY. HERE.

After months of planning, hundreds of pickle puns, and several decisions that probably should’ve required adult supervision...PICKLE PALOOZA WEEKEND STARTS TODAY. 🎉

Here’s what you need to know before entering the brine:

🎉 FRIDAY | 6:00–10PM (5:30 for VIP)
Happy Hour • Pickle Karaoke • Costume Contest • DJ Scott Sain • Pickle Dancers • The Disckle • Spicy Baby + more

🥒 SATURDAY | 2–6PM (1:30 for VIP)
40+ vendors • Clash of the Cukes • Pickle Competitions • Pickleball • Whack-a-Dill • Food • Drinks • Beautiful chaos

🍳 SUNDAY | 11:30M–3:30PM (11AM for VIP)
Brunch • Pickle Bloody Marys • Vendors • Pickle Trivia • One final chance to make pickles your entire personality

🎟️ HAVE YOUR TICKET READY!
Pull it up before check-in. Screenshot it. Save it. Tattoo the QR code on your forehead. Whatever works.

👑 VIPs get 30-minute early entry EACH DAY!

🛍️ VIP SWAG BAG PSA:
Your $150+ swag bag can be picked up Friday, Saturday OR Sunday inside Cannon Distillery at the smaller bar past the bathrooms.

BUT PLEASE PICK IT UP TONIGHT IF YOU CAN. 😂 Friday = smaller crowd, shorter lines & smoother pickup. Sunday works too, but respectfully...we would like these 250 bags to leave the premises.

🚗 PARKING + SITEMAP + FAQ
We made pages for all three because apparently “follow the smell of vinegar” isn't sufficient directions.

👉 LINK IN BIO for parking info, festival sitemap, FAQs & everything else you need.

🌧️ RAIN OR SHINE! We also have indoor/air-conditioned areas including Cannon Distillery and Dill Dinkers.

Hydrate. Charge your phone. Stretch your pickle-eating muscles.

CHARLESTON...IT’S TIME TO GET PICKLED. 🥒🔥

BEHOLD: THE VERY IMPORTANT PICKLE BAG. 🥒

Because if you’re going to spend an entire weekend making questionable decisions involving cucumbers, you need something fashionable to carry the evidence home in.

A HUGE thank you to Law Offices of Michael T. Spears for sponsoring our official Pickle Palooza VIP swag bags! 🙌⚖️

These bad boys will be stuffed with $150+ worth of pickle snacks, discounts, goodies, and general briny nonsense for our VIPs.

🚨 VIP BAG PICKUP PSA: You can grab your swag bag Friday, Saturday OR Sunday — but we HIGHLY recommend picking it up TONIGHT (Friday). The bag will be INSIDE Cannon Distillery | Charleston, SC at the smaller bar past the bathrooms when you walk in.

Why? Smaller crowd. Shorter lines. Smoother pickup. More time Saturday to focus on the important things...like eating an irresponsible number of pickles.

Sunday works too, but respectfully...

PLEASE TAKE THESE THINGS HOME.

We ordered 250 of them and would prefer not to start using them as reusable grocery bags until 2034.

Huge thanks again to the Law Offices of Michael T. Spears for helping us make our VIPs feel extra dill-uxe. 💚⚖️🥒

🍗🥒 WING WING...WHO’S THERE? VIP PERKS.

Huge thank you to Charleston Sports Pub for tossing a BOGO WINGS offer into our Pickle Palooza VIP swag bags! 🙌🔥

Because nothing says "I just spent an entire weekend celebrating pickles" quite like recovering with twice the wings.

VIPs, your swag bags are officially becoming less of a "bag" and more of a financial portfolio of snacks, discounts, and questionable dietary decisions. 📈🥒

Go show Charleston Sports Pub some love, grab some wings, catch a game, and tell 'em the pickle people sent you. 💚

🥒 VIP is VERY limited — snag yours before we’re all outta brine.

🚨 BREAKING NEWS: Local man goes on television and attempts to explain why Charleston has completely lost its mind over PICKLES. 🥒📺

Our friend Johnny O' took one for the team and headed to Lowcountry Live! to spread the good word of the brine.

He talked Pickle Palooza. He represented the pickle people. He somehow made all of this sound like a legitimate, professionally organized event.

Academy Award-worthy performance. No notes. 😂👏

Huge thanks to Johnny O. and the Lowcountry Live crew for helping us spread the dill!

And Charleston...THIS IS YOUR FINAL WARNING. Pickle Palooza is THIS WEEKEND and tickets are disappearing faster than our dignity during the pickle juice chugging competition.

🥒 3 DAYS
🥒 Thousands of pickle people
🥒 An absolutely unreasonable amount of pickle-related nonsense

🎟️ GET YOUR TICKETS BEFORE WE HAVE TO GO BACK ON TV AND BEG.

🚨 DILL-ICIOUS DISCOUNT INCOMING. 🚨

Huge thanks to Laid Off Dad Kettle Corn for popping into our VIP swag bags with a discount on their DILL PICKLE KETTLE CORN. 🥒🍿

Yes, you read that correctly. Dill. Pickle. Kettle. Corn.

Our VIP bags are absolutely stuffed with pickle snacks, discounts, goodies, and enough briny chaos to concern your family.

🥒 Give Laid Off Dad Kettle Corn a follow and check out LaidOffDadKettleCorn.com to get your hands on some dill pickle kettle corn!

And to Laid Off Dad: thanks for helping us keep VIP kind of a big dill. 💚

⚔️🥒 ENTERING THE ARENA: THE ESTABLISHMENT.

Things are about to get a little more...established at Clash of the Cukes. 😏

🔥 The Establishment is officially stepping into the brine battle at Pickle Palooza, and they’re bringing TWO contenders:

🥒 Dilly Pickles — classic, herby, dill-icious goodness
🌶️ Spicy B&B Pickles — sweet, spicy, and ready to throw hands

Will one of these jars have what it takes to win over the people, impress the judges, and leave the arena with pickle glory? 🏆

There’s only one way to find out.

🎟️ Grab your Pickle Palooza tickets, sample the competition, and cast your gold token for your favorite at Clash of the Cukes!

⚔️ THE BRINE BATTLE CONTINUES.

🧥🥒 DILL WITH IT — Uncle Kyle came through for the VIPs.

Huge thank you to Uncle Kyle's Sweater Emporium and Vintage Locker Room for hooking up our Pickle Palooza VIP swag bags with a little something special!

💚 VIPs will score a card from Uncle Kyle’s, but that’s not all...

🏆 One of our attendee pickle competition winners is walking away with a $100 GIFT CARD to Uncle Kyle’s Sweater Emporium!

Because nothing says elite athletic achievement quite like dominating a pickle competition and immediately spending your winnings on vintage drip. 🥒

If you haven’t been to Uncle Kyle’s yet, you’re missing out. Their downtown King Street shop is packed with vintage sweaters, tons of vintage sports gear, throwback treasures, and gloriously questionable fashion decisions from decades past. 🏀🏈⚾🧥

🥒 Compete.
🏆 Win.
🧥 Get dripped out by Uncle Kyle.

Give Uncle Kyle’s Sweater Emporium a follow and swing by their shop on King Street to show them some Pickle Palooza love! 💚

🚨🥒 OH MY GLORIOUS DILL... IT’S HAPPENING AGAIN.

PICKLE PALOOZA IS 90% SOLD OUT.

Look, Charleston. We get it. You like to keep your options open.

Maybe you’re checking the weather.

Maybe you’re waiting to see if that Bumble match messages you back. (Do people still use Bumble? We’ve been busy organizing pickle festivals.)

Maybe the group chat has been "checking schedules" for 11 business days.

Maybe your friend said, "I’ll Venmo you later," and you believed them.

Maybe Mercury is in Gatorade.

Maybe the babysitter hasn’t confirmed.

Maybe you’re waiting for your emotional-support meteorologist Rob Fowler to weigh in.

Or maybe you’re thinking:

"I’ll just buy tickets at the door."

🥒 ABSOLUTELY NOT, CUCUMBER.

Last year, Pickle Palooza completely sold out and 500+ sad, ticketless cucumbers ended up on the waiting list.

And yes, despite what some of you apparently believe...

FESTIVALS CAN SELL OUT.

We cannot fit 10,000 people in here. We have capacity limits. We have fire codes. We have neighbors. We have already made enough questionable pickle-related decisions.

Eventually...

🫙🥒 THE JAR IS FULL.

Once tickets are gone, they’re GONE.

No secret stash.
No "my cousin knows the pickle guy."
No bribing Dillbert.
No slipping Briney Spears a crisp $20.
No standing outside whispering, "pspspspsps… pickle…"

🚨 THIS IS YOUR BIG DILL WARNING.

Stop dill-y dallying. Relish the opportunity. Secure the brine.

🎟️ GET YOUR TICKETS NOW AT THEPICKLEPALOOZA.COM BEFORE YOU BECOME SAD CUCUMBER #501.

🥒🔥 90% SOLD OUT. CHARLESTON, YOU’VE BEEN WARNED.

⚔️🥒 ENTERING THE ARENA: & LOBSTER! 🥒⚔️

The Clash of the Cukes is about to get a little feta than ever. 😏
🔥 And Lobster is stepping into the brine-soaked battlefield with:

🥒 Charred cucumber & feta dip
🥣 Greek yogurt
🌿 Fresh herbs
🥙 Served with crispy pita chips

Charred cucumber in a pickle competition?! THE AUDACITY. THE INTRIGUE. THE DRAMA. 👀

On Saturday, YOU get to help decide who takes home the $500 People’s Choice prize. Sample the competing creations, then drop your gold token into the bucket of the dish worthy of pickle immortality. 🏆

Will & Lobster dip, dunk, and char their way to the Clash of the Cukes crown? 👑🥒

There’s only one way to find out.

🎟️ Pickle Palooza III • Saturday, September 19
⚔️ Clash of the Cukes: 1:30–4 PM
