The Great Marigolds Pie Off
Marigolds is hosting a Pie Eating Contest!
October 31st, 2026 10am-4pm
If you've ever watched Gilmore Girls and thought, "I wish our town did ridiculous things like that," well, we're taking matters into our own hands.
October 31st, Downtown Bartlesville is closing off Johnstone Avenue for a good old fashioned Fall Festival! We're talking food, games, fall festivities, and a whole lot of small town fun.
Naturally, we decided the best contribution Marigolds could make was to put 16 people in ponchos and have them eat pie competitively.
Here's the plan!
$15 cash entry, with registration the morning of the festival!
Two rounds with 8 contestants each. Everyone gets their very own apple or blueberry pie.
The winner of each round advances to the final showdown, where they'll compete for a $100 Marigolds gift card!
And yes, we're providing ponchos. We're a bookstore, not monsters.
Here's the kicker y'all... you may only use 1 singular hand ....
The best part? Every dollar collected in entry fees goes right back into supporting next year's Downtown Fall Festival!
So bring the kids, bring the grandparents, bring that one relative who takes absolutely everything too seriously. Come enjoy a little fall fun with us and all the wonderful businesses downtown who each have something fun planned!
Whether you're brave enough to compete or just want to watch your neighbors make questionable decisions, we'd love to have you.
Saturday, October 31 | 10 AM to 4 PM | Johnstone Avenue, Downtown Bartlesville!
