DillCathlon 2025: Crowning champions of pickle juice drinking, bobbing for pickles and pickle eating
Jessica Levo | For TribLive
Competitors duke it out during this weekend’s pickle-eating contest at the 2025 Picklesburgh in Downtown Pittsburgh.
Picklesburgh, a one-of-a-kind summer festival that celebrates all things pickles, crowned champions Sunday in competitions like the Pickle Juice Drinking Contest, Bobbing for Pickles and Pickle Eating.
The city’s annual ode to dill drew massive crowds in Downtown Pittsburgh over the weekend. Food and craft vendors lined Sixth Street, Fort Duquesne Boulevard, the Andy Warhol and Roberto Clemente bridges, and even peppered PPG Place.
But the pickle competitions provided a dill-icious way to pass the time.
