Picklefest | August First Fridays
Friday, August 2, 5 – 9 p.m.
Join us for a celebration of all things pickled! Downtown Goshen’s inaugural Picklefest features a variety of pickle-based dishes, a pickleball tournament, a mechanical bull, fun activities for kids, and live music!
Participating merchants will have their doors open throughout the evening for all kinds of family-friendly fun, all while Goshen’s downtown eateries provide delicious meals featuring an exciting and unusual selection of pickled delights.
Entertainment
Enjoy great times with family and friends, sample pickled items you never knew existed, enjoy live music and entertainment, and try out the mechanical bull (perhaps before you’ve hit the First Fridays beer garden). Make sure to cheer on some of the best pickleball players in the region as they compete for the title of Picklefest Champions!
Tournament registration to come.
Our events operate with the love and help of many sponsors and volunteers. Join us!
Food and Drink
Downtown restaurants and bars will be open throughout the evening to fuel up both spectators and participants alike.
The First Fridays beer garden and food trucks will also be outdoors for a quick drink or bite to eat!
You can also grab a beer from the First Fridays Beer Tent. Proceeds go to help keep First Fridays free!
Kids Activities
Goshen Parks and Recreation and Goshen Boys and Girls Club offer family-friendly games along Main Street – and family-friendly axe throwing hosted by Axes and Antics!
Downtown Business Promotions
Businesses feature games and specials to help competitors improve their performance: games, outdoor activity items, athleisure, shoes, sports, and spectator apparel.
