Whether you love pickles or try to steer clear of them, you won’t want to miss Baltimore’s Big Dill™ Pickle Festival on September 22. This unique event celebrates all things brined, from traditional dill pickles, to deep-fried dill pickles, to sweet and sour pickle ice cream. You can even order yourself a pickle-themed cocktail, compete in a pickle rodeo, or have your photo taken with “Dilly the Pickle.” Not a big pickle fan? No worries. There’ll be plenty of non-pickle food vendors, live country western music all day, and festival attendees will have full access to Power Plant LIVE, an axe throwing arena, carnival games, and bull riding. 

You should be aware that this unique event sells out every year, so if you want to attend it’s smart to head over to the website and reserve your tickets ahead of time.
