“We have a whole lineup of vendors that are coming. Everybody’s just going to have some sort of pickle option available,” Pasley said.
Pickle Fest will also include live music and special guests.
A pickle festival in Alabama inspired the organizers to bring a similar event to South Missisisppi.
“We need to have something like that over here. It was such a great turnout, and there were so many people. Everybody loves pickles,” Pasley said.
Organizers said they hope the event becomes an annual tradition.
