Pickles have evolved from a simple tangy snack and sandwich topper into a full-blown flavor obsession, inspiring everything from pickle-flavored chips and cocktails to entire events like Picklesburgh—which is celebrating its 10th anniversary with a first-of-its-kind mechanical pickle ride.

This destination for pickle lovers is returning to Downtown Pittsburgh from July 11th to 13th to share all things pickle-themed, from balloons to beer. In 2024, Picklesburgh attracted 250,000 attendees and generated $23.2 million in direct spending across Downtown restaurants, hotels, shops, and attractions.

For 2025, alongside the first-ever mechanical pickle ride, guests can expect new pickle-inspired food and beverage creations, commemorative 10th anniversary merchandise, family-friendly activities and the returning Pickle Juice Drinking Contest.
