Picklesburgh returns to Downtown Pittsburgh July 19-21.
Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership and Kraft-Heinz will bring a variety of pickle-flavored items — from the standard pickles and relish to the adventurous pickle-flavored ice cream or pickle-flavored vodka — to the Boulevard of the Allies.
Live music, pickle-themed merchandise, a pickle juice drinking contest and more are part of the free event.
Last year’s event drew more than 200,000 people according to the Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership.
“The festival was originally created to bring people downtown during summer when weekends were quiet, and business was slower,” Jeremy Waldrup, president and CEO of the Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership, said in a news release. “Almost a decade later, I don’t think we could ever have envisioned how the region has embraced this event and made it something so uniquely Pittsburgh. We’ve grown significantly every year, and it looks like that will happen again in 2024!”
Additional details will be released as the event approaches on picklesburgh.com.
