Picklesburgh Again In Running For Nation's Best Specialty Food Fest
It's a big dill. One of Pittsburgh's favorite annual summer festivals is looking to vault back to the top of the national rankings.
PITTSBURGH, PA — After a disappointing second-place finish in 2024, Picklesburgh once again has been nominated as the Best Specialty Food Festival in the country by USA Today 10Best.
Voting has begun and continues every day until March 3 here. After capturing the top spot for three consecutive years, Pickelesburgh finished second last year to the Delta Hot Tamale Festival in Greenville, MI.
Picklesburgh, of course, is the free, multi-day festival full of fermented fandom and fun. With dill-icious food from around the region and the world, pickle-themed merchandise, live music, free ‘Lil’ Gherkins’ activities, and a heart-pounding pickle juice drinking contest, there’s something for everyone to, well, relish.
