in Order to Service the High Demand for Tickets

The Big Dill™, a digital pickle community with 400,00 followers across several social media channels, adds a second day to their World's Largest Pickle Party® to meet the demand for tickets. Pickle festivals have exploded in popularity across the country, and The Big Dill World's Largest Pickle Party® is the pickle event that everyone is eager to attend.


The festival will be hosted at Power Plant Live! in Baltimore, MD, on September 24th and 25th. Tickets officially go on sale on May 9th and can be purchased at www.bigdill.com. Pricing is tiered, with tickets ranging from $21.99 to $74.99 for VIP Guests.


Currently, there is a waiting list of over 8,000 people who provided their email to be the first in line to scoop up tickets on an early bird list. Due to the high demand, organizers added a second day to include another 5,000 guests. The pickle-themed festival, which started in 2019, survived a shuttered year for the event industry in 2020 and rebounded by selling out tickets in under four weeks last year.

The Big Dill World's Largest Pickle Party® draws pickle enthusiasts from all over the world. Viral Festivals, the company that produces The Big Dill World's Largest Pickle Party®, credits building a massive pickle community on social media during the quarantine as the critical reason for the event's ascension in popularity.

The Big Dill has amassed over 8.4 million views on TikTok, 185,000 followers on Facebook, manages a Facebook group, I Love Pickles, with 100,000 followers, and has 35,000 followers on Instagram. The brand has quickly become the largest pickle-themed community in the world.
