Our community is kind of a big dill! 💚🥒

A HUGE thank you to everyone who attended the 8th annual Cleveland Pickle Fest® last weekend at Mall C and made it such a success. From the pickle lovers and festivalgoers to our amazing vendors, sponsors, volunteers, and community supporters, we couldn’t have done it without you. A special shoutout to everyone who competed in our inaugural Cleveland Pickle Fest® 5K and enjoyed pickle-perfect racing weather.

We hope you all had a dill-lightful time — we know we sure did!

We'll have a lot more photos coming soon, so stay tuned.
