Grab a spot in the queue-cumber because tickets went on sale Monday for the Big Dill World’s Largest Pickle Party, which is returning to Baltimore for the fifth straight year.
The festival will make a stop at Baltimore’s Power Plant Live from 12 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Sept. 21 as part of the event’s In My Pickle Era Tour.
Guests will be able to sample more than 100 types of pickles. Vendors will be selling a plethora of pickle-related foods, including stuffed pickle pretzels; fried pickles; and bacon, fries, grilled cheese, egg rolls, pizza, and ice cream, all made with pickles.
For adults 21 and older, there will be pickle-themed cocktails, beers and other alcoholic beverages, including margaritas, crushes, slushies, The Original Pickle Shot, and a bloody Mary made from Old Bay vodka, pickle beer, and pickle lemonade.
There will also be some non-pickle foods, like burgers, chicken sandwiches, and crab crakes, donuts, churros, cotton candy, marshmallows, and regular ice cream—because even the most die-hard pickle enthusiasts need to give their palates a break before round two of crunching into the dill-ectable brined vegetables.
For those with strong stomachs, there will be a pickle eating championship and a brine chug challenge.
Attendees will be able to really relish the day with live music, a pickle rave, DJs, rock wall climbing, pickle pitching, a 360-photo booth, face painting, caricature artists, and more.
Vendors will also be selling crafts clothing, custom bags, jewelry, hot sauces, and more.
Standard and VIP passes are sold out, but guests can still purchase an Early Entry Pickle Pass for $69.99, a Premium Pickle Pass for $39.99, or a Kids Pickle Pass (for attendees under 13 years old) for $17.99. Attendees under 2 years old get in for free.
Power Plant Live! is located at 34 Market Place, Baltimore, MD 21202.
