How did I not know this was a thing? I love me some pickles.

On Sunday, Nov. 20, it's the return of the Hudson Valley Pickle Festival. Now in its 19th year, the annual event is held in the picturesque little town of Rosendale.

There will plenty of pickles for tasting and even tossing in the pickle triathlon. Can you eat a whole jar of pickles or down pickle juice like a boss? Interested in entering the pickling contest? Well, then this festival is pickled perfection.

The event kicks off at 10AM at the Rosendale Recreation Center and costs $5, kids are free.
