Pittsburgh is Picklesburgh!


Celebrate all things pickled at Picklesburgh July 11-13, 2025


 Experience a culinary and cultural celebration of all things pickled during Picklesburgh, named USA Today's #1 Specialty Food Festival in the country for four consecutive years!


What is Picklesburgh? 

Picklesburgh is a dill-icious weekend in Downtown Pittsburgh dedicated to the humble pickle. Headlined by a giant flying Heinz pickle balloon, the Picklesburgh festival is a true culinary celebration.


Why pickles? Well, you may be surprised to know that Pittsburgh has a wonderful pickle history and enjoys celebrating the current pickle nostalgia!


So, What's the Big Dill? 


Pickles are, obviously, the highlight of the event, but the celebration goes beyond our vinegar-bathed friends. Try some dill-ightfully prepared food and drinks, and be sure to check out a variety of themed souvenirs and gifts, which have included:


Pickles and assorted pickled veggies

Pickled peppers and hot sauces

Pickle cocktails

Pickle beer

Chocolate-covered pickles

Pickle ice cream and gelato

Pickled wings

Let your imagination run wild, you'll soon find out everything can be pickled!


Live Entertainment 


A proper Picklesburgh weekend wouldn't be complete without entertainment! Live music, pickling and cooking demos, children's activities and of course the fan favorite Pickle Juice Drinking Contest!


We're sure you'll have a dill-lightful time and fall in love with Pittsburgh when you come to Picklesburgh!
