Cleveland Pickle Fest® is a celebration of pickles and volunteerism in Cleveland. Volunteers are a BIG DILL. Proceeds from the event support Greater Cleveland Volunteers programs and services to volunteers and nonprofits in Cuyahoga County. In the first year, the festival attracted more than 16,000 people to Downtown Cleveland. The event included pickle companies, food trucks, restaurants, pickle items, and pickle beer. Pickle lovers enjoyed many different flavors of pickles, pickles on a stick, pickle pizza, pickle candy, and even pickle ice cream.
