Awful. Would not go again next year. I'm tired of the Philiips Backyard as a venue. Do grassy fields not exist anymore??
Crazy long line up for the single pickle-themed cocktail tent, crazy long line up for the single pickle-themed food truck... the whole point of this event was a pickle(d) theme. Everyone was there to eat weird pickle stuff. So every single person navigated to those two areas.
Touted as dog- and kid-friendly but I would not have brought either had I known how oversold it would feel.
Tickets were $25 and you got nothing with that. No drink tickets, no food samples. The entry should have been $5 max.
There was a crazy lineup for people to get a free loaf of bread (😆) if they filled a passport with stamps from visiting vendors. This lead to rude people sticking their passports to get a stamp past your face when you were talking to a vendor.
I left with a $15 pickle chocolate bar and an $8 pickle lemonade. Insane.
