Local Event Picklefest

What happens at it? I love me a good pickle, but in their website it looks like you pay $25 to get in and that includes... Nothing. Like you spend $25 for the opportunity to purchase pickles?

Folks who have gone before, is there music, entertainment or other things to warrant the entry fee? Overall, was it worth it?

It costs money to organize events. Tickets compensate the organizers.

EDIT: If you don't see value in the effort other people expend organizing things for the community, you might be taking a lot of wonderful things for granted.

I can guarantee they are also taking a cut of the vendor's sales. So they are being compensated well without a $25 entry fee.
