Picklefest Vancouver

PICKLEFEST Vancouver is an all‑ages, food-and-drink, annual festival celebrating everything pickled and fermented. The outdoor festival was first held in Vancouver on September 6, 2025 at the City Centre Artist Lodge. In 2026, the festival hosted over 60 vendors offering classic and creative pickle‑themed foods and beverages, along with a fully licensed drink selection and live music performances throughout the day. Attendees could also participate in the festival’s home pickling contest, where amateur makers competed for cash prizes and bragging rights. The event brought together food lovers and families for a flavour‑packed, community‑oriented celebration of pickling culture in the city.

In 2026, we saw the event expand beyond the capacity of the City Centre Artist Lounge property, and included the entire 6th Ave street between Main and Quebec to accommodate the anticipated increase of attendees.
