Quirky, fun, and distinctly Pittsburgh, Picklesburgh is a one-of-a-kind festival that celebrates all things pickled. Held each July on the Rachel Carson Bridge, this event has been voted the “Best Specialty Food Festival in America.” The bridge is completely transformed into a lively pickle-themed party, complete with food stalls, vendors, and live entertainment.
Guests can try unique creations like pickle-flavored beer, pickle pizza, and even pickle ice cream. Beyond food, there are pickle juice drinking contests, cooking demos, kids’ activities, and live bands that keep the energy high all weekend long. The festival captures Pittsburgh’s playful side and gives visitors a truly local experience they can’t find anywhere else.
