Compete in the pickle eating contest!

Easily the highlight of the Cleveland Pickle Fest®, the Pickle Eating Contest is a test of true love for pickles! This year we will have two subdivisions – adults and little gherkins (youth 12 and under).

These pickle-loving people will be competing for the honor of Champ in adult and youth divisions. The test is which competitor can eat an entire jar (16oz jar) of pickle spears the fastest.
