The Big Dill, the world’s largest pickle-themed festival, will return  Power Plant Live! on Saturday, Sept. 20, and Sunday, Sept. 21, bringing Baltimore its sixth annual brine-soaked bash as part of the national “In My Pickle Era” Tour.

Founded in Baltimore in 2019, The Big Dill has grown into a nationwide tour with more than 1.2 million followers and fans traveling in from all over the country. This year’s edition is packed with more vendors, entertainment and pickled insanity than ever before, and is expected to draw over 10,000 people from around the country.

Guests can expect unlimited pickle sampling from top national and regional brands inside Pickle Row, along with Baltimore’s most outrageous pickle-infused foods. Fan-favorite vendors include Frank’s Pizza & Pasta, returning with its viral pickle pizza; JD’s House of Bacon, led by a former Orioles chef and creator of Baltimore’s original “bacon on a stick”; Crossroads Bistro with their deep-fried pickle egg rolls; Fuzzies Burgers serving up pickle-seasoned fries; and Queen City Creamery with a sweet-and-salty cult classic: pickle ice cream.

 Festivalgoers 21+ will be treated to a full bar of signature pickle cocktails, including frozen pickle margaritas, spicy pickle bloody Marys with Tajín rims, pickle cider, the Original Pickle Shot and more. Non-drinkers and pickle lovers of all ages can cool off with the festival’s fan-favorite pickle lemonade, served ice cold and full of flavor.

The entertainment lineup is stacked across both days. Nationally touring band Triple Rail Turn headlines the main stage, and the crowd-favorite Electric Pickle RAVE returns with national DJs, cryo blasts, lasers, confetti, and dancing mascots. Making its official debut is Pickle Up!, a live interactive game show where guests can go head-to-head in over-the-top competitions on stage.

Families and friends alike will enjoy axe throwing, rock climbing, carnival games, face painting, hair tinsel, balloon artists and appearances by The Oriole Bird, Poe from the Ravens, and of course, Dilly the Pickle and Dillon from the Portland Pickles.
