July 11-12, 2015 Lahaska, Pennsylvania Picklesburgh http://www.picklesburgh.com/ For two days in July, the Rachel Carson Bridge in Downtown Pittsburgh will transform into Picklesburgh, highlighted by a giant flying Heinz pickle balloon, custom built by a team that also crafts balloons for Disney and the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade. The Picklesburgh festival is a culinary celebration that goes beyond the dill pickle to include international dishes, prepared foods and artisan cocktails that feature pickled ingredients; an embrace of the farmto-table movement and the rising popularity of canning; a selection of handcrafted foods and artisan cocktails from local restaurants; informative how-to demos and author talks at the Whole Foods Market demo area; merchandise such as pickled goods, books and DIY products. **Image by Nikodem Nijaki** https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/ July 17-18, 2015 thumb/4/40/Polish_style_pickled_cucumbers_ Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania IMGP0413.jpg/800px-Polish_style_pickled_cucumbers_IMGP0413.jpg
