🥒💚 What a DILL-IGHTFUL Day! 💚🥒
The 5th Annual Pickle Fest-Just Dill With It was one for the pickle history books, and it's all because of YOU, our BIG DILLS! Thank you for coming out and celebrating five amazing years with us. We loved every crunchy, briny, dill-icious minute!
A huge THANK YOU to all of our incredible vendors—you all absolutely brought your A-brine! And to all of our new vendors... welcome to the pickle family! We loved having you and hope you had a relish-able time!
🎸 The music was kind of a BIG DILL too!
A huge thank you to Classic Jam, Stoned Again, and RockHouse Columbus for rocking the main stage, while Alexis Gomez and Ashley Knapp kept the back stage country and absolutely dill-ightful.
🎨 Our attractions were nothing short of pickle perfection!
🥒 Chad from Ice Creations wowed everyone with an incredible sand sculpture.
🧀 The Squashcarver created an absolutely breathtaking cheese carving of our Pickle Fest logo—it was truly a work of art and one of the coolest attractions at the festival!
🤖 And who would've thought you'd get to meet robot dogs at Pickle Fest?! A huge thank you to Robot Experience for bringing Rudy and Rover to meet all of our Big Dills. They were definitely crowd favorites!
🥒 Paul created amazing Pickle Fest chalk art that was almost too cool to walk on.
🎈 Jacque with Balloon Dog Events once again proved she's the BIGGEST DILL with her fantastic balloon creations.
👑 And a royal thank you to Queen'z Mixing Co for bringing the Pickle Throne... because every Big Dill deserves a proper seat!
📱 And how about that NEW Pickle Passport?! You all absolutely crushed it! A huge shout-out to Darius and Nexgen Web Creations for creating such a fun way to explore the festival. We can't wait to make it even bigger next year!
🥒 A BIG round of applause to everyone who entered our Pickle Eating Contest, proudly sponsored by The Crazy Cucumber ! You all really put your pickle passion to the test! Congratulations to our 2026 Pickle Eating Champion, Joe, who chomped his way to 1st Place, and a huge shout-out to Ryan for winning the People's Choice Award! We think you're both kind of a BIG DILL! 🏆🥒
From pickle pizza to pickle margaritas, pickle egg rolls to pickle desserts, pickle sweets, shopping, contests, music, selfies, laughs, robot dogs, and thousands of smiling faces... Year 5 was truly a Pretty Big Dill!
From the bottom of our dill-loving hearts, thank you for making Pickle Fest one of the most unique, creative, and fun festivals around. Every one of you helped make our 5th Anniversary unforgettable, and we can't wait to show you what we're cooking up for Year 6!
Until next year...
Stay brined. Stay crunchy. Stay kind of a BIG DILL... and always... Just Dill With It! 🥒💚
