WV Picklefest

WV Picklefest is back—and in 2026, it’s getting bigger than ever. What began as a grassroots celebration at Greenbrier Valley Brewing Company has grown into one of the region’s most anticipated spring events, and now it’s officially making the move to the State Fair of West Virginia. Join us April 24–26, 2026, as Picklefest expands into a full-scale weekend experience with more room to roam, more to taste, and more music to enjoy.

At its heart, WV Picklefest is a celebration of community, craft, and a shared love of all things pickled. The move to the State Fairgrounds allows the festival to level up in every way—more vendors, more food trucks, bigger contests, and more music than ever before. Fans can also expect plenty of their favorite pours, with Greenbrier Valley Brewing Company and Hawk Knob Appalachian Hard Cider front and center all weekend long.

Music lovers will feel right at home with a strong bluegrass-focused lineup that carries the laid-back, high-energy spirit Picklefest is known for. The weekend kicks off with a Pre-Party at Greenbrier Valley Brewing Company on Friday, April 24, setting the tone before the main festival takes over the State Fairgrounds on Saturday and Sunday, April 25–26.

Tickets go on sale soon, with artist announcements rolling out along the way—including the Pre-Party lineup and the full WV Picklefest 2026 music drop. Get ready for a weekend that’s louder, tastier, and more fun than ever before. It’s going to be a really big dill. 🥒
