"The Big Dill did not disappoint lol—we had a blast 💥🥒 it was everything and more 😋😋😋" — Vanessa
We're throwing a full-blown pickle party. Most food festivals stop at snacks. We go way beyond. Live shows, epic games, dancing mascots. Yes, the food is incredible, but that is just one part of the experience when you buy into the party.
"10/10 would go again. Hopefully next year I can try more!"
— Aniyah
"Greatest pickle fest of my life!"
— Trinity
Welcome to Pickle World® our fully Immersive Festival Universe.
Most food festivals give you vendors, a few bites and maybe a band. The Big Dill flips that script:
🎶 Main Stage Lineup:
Saturday: Jackson Perkins and SouthPaw Country Music Showcase (Bands)
and DJ Jay Roy (Pickle RAVE)
It's not just the pickles. It's the people, the energy, the vibe. Unforgettable moments turn into yearly traditions. That's why fans don't just come once, they come back, bring friends and make it a ritual.
"Haven’t missed one yet!"

100% The Big Dill features a curated lineup of high quality vendors to showcase pickle-infused combos that people went crazy for on the internet. Many of vendors are recruited from State Fairs and top food festivals.
