Frequently asked questions

Where do I buy tickets?

Follow the "Shop Tickets" link above for your city.

Are there Early Bird tickets?

Yes—when available. Early Bird is limited quantity and can sell out fast. Once they’re gone, General Admission continues until we hit capacity.

What’s the difference between Early Bird and General Admission?

Same Picklefest experience— except Early Bird gets you a slightly better price. We have a limited number of Early Bird tickets available.

Do tickets include food and drinks?

Your ticket covers event entry. Food and drinks are available for purchase from our vendors and bars.

What does VIP include?

VIP gets you in an hour early, ahead of the lines and lets you shop & meet the makers / vendors ahead of the crowds.

Are tickets sold at the door?

If the event isn’t sold out, we’ll have limited door tickets. Capacity is real—buy ahead to guarantee entry.

Can I get a refund if I can’t go?

Tickets are final sale.

Do I need to print my ticket?

Nope—mobile scan is perfect. Just have the QR code ready.

Can I bring kids?

Yes, kids under 12 are free and Picklefest™ is an all ages event.

Are dogs allowed?

Almost all of our venues allow for dogs but please check with your specific market.

Is the event accessible?

We aim to make every Picklefest™ accessible. Venue accessibility details (ramps, accessible washrooms, etc.) will be listed on the specific event page. Contact us if you have specific needs.

What happens if it rains?

Picklefest™ events happen rain or shine.

Can I leave and re-enter?

Re-entry depends on venue policy. If re-entry is allowed, you’ll get a wristband or stamp at the door.

What can’t I bring?

No outside alcohol, weapons, illegal substances, or anything the venue prohibits. Bags may be checked at entry.
