The St. Joe Pickle Festival
Enjoy a number of activities that you can't find at your typical festival, such as the pickle derby and the pickle scavenger hunt. Pickle-themed food is present as well, with pickle-flavored ice cream, fried pickles, and pickle juice contests. The ice cream is a festival favorite, made from sweet Sechler's pickles.
This festival isn't just pickles though. You can enjoy festival staples like face painting and craft vendors, which are available during the three-day pickle celebration!
On the last day make sure you grab a seat for the Pickle Fest Car Show and Pit Stop Race followed by the fireworks to close out the festival.
One of the coolest parts of the festival is the tour of the pickle factory. The factory has been used to perfect the art of pickling for almost a century, with 54 pickle, salsa, and relish varieties. While most food factories have relied on technological advances to speed up their process, much of the steps at the pickle factory have remained the same.
