Mohegan Sun to Host Unusual, Flavor-Packed Festival Experience

UNCASVILLE, CT — A three-day pickle-themed festival is coming to Mohegan Sun later this month, offering visitors a wide range of food, entertainment, and competitions centered around the popular condiment.

The Connecticut Pickle Festival will run from Friday, July 25, through Sunday, July 27, at the Earth Expo & Convention Center. Organizers say the event will feature more than 50 types of pickles from producers across the country.

“This is more than just a festival — it’s a pickle lover’s paradise,” said Nicole Soulier, Connecticut Pickle Festival Director. “We’re thrilled to host it at Mohegan Sun, where guests can enjoy a weekend of flavor, fun, and endless entertainment.”

Festivalgoers can expect a variety of pickle-inspired foods, including pickle pizza, shaved ice, fried pickles, and pickle-topped ice cream. Specialty drinks like pickle martinis and pickle shots will also be served.

Scheduled attractions include the Pickle Eating Contest, the Pickle Juice Challenge, and The Great Pickle-Off, a juried competition for homemade pickles. Children’s activities will include games, inflatables, and themed stations such as “pickle cornhole.”

Live music performances will take place throughout the weekend, and the festival's mascot, Pickle Pablo, is expected to appear.

General admission tickets are available at ctpicklefestival.com, with free entry for children 12 and under.

The event is billed as the largest pickle festival in New England.
