You're one of the lucky ones!
National Pickle Day at The Big Dill is officially sold out, and no tickets will be sold at the door. Thank you for being part of it.
Dress up & wear your pickle suit!
☀️ Pickle party weather!
Saturday is shaping up sunny and dry, perfect for a day out in your pickle best. It's crisp in the 40s and cools off once the sun goes down, so stay comfy: layer up under your pickle gear, wear comfy shoes, and bring a hat and gloves for the night. We'll have heaters throughout the party, plus a massive indoor arena to keep the party going. Green is always encouraged.
