Charleston Pickle Festival 2025: A Dill-Lightful Summer Celebration
Where: North Charleston Riverfront Park
When: Saturday, August 23, 2025 | 12 PM – 6 PM
Charleston is known for its charming streets, historic beauty, and culinary flair—but once a year, it’s all about the pickles. The Charleston Pickle Festival is back for 2025, bringing a briny blast of fun to the North Charleston Riverfront Park. If you’ve never been, this is the kind of quirky, hyper-local event that perfectly captures the spirit of the Lowcountry!
What to Expect
From pickle-flavored everything to local artisan vendors, food trucks, and craft brews, this year’s festival is packed with flavor. Whether you’re a pickle purist or you’re just there for the fried pickles and pickle popsicles, there’s something for every taste. You’ll also find cocktail stations mixing up spicy picklebacks and tart pickle martinis—cheers to that!
Family Fun and Local Flavor
This is more than just a food festival—it’s a community celebration. Expect live music all afternoon, lawn games, and a dedicated kids' zone to keep the little ones entertained while you shop local goods or relax by the water. Bonus: leashed dogs are welcome, so feel free to bring your four-legged pickle fans.
Tickets and Tips
Admission is free, but VIP passes are available for early access, shaded seating, and exclusive pickle tastings. Our tip? Come early, wear sunscreen, and bring your appetite.
Whether you’re a longtime Charlestonian or just discovering the city, the Pickle Festival is a perfect way to soak up some summer fun while supporting local makers and enjoying one of the city’s most unique events.
