National Pickle Day is a big dill to some, and in order to celebrate this oft-unrecognized holiday properly, a local small-batch pickle company, DJ’s Pickles, has partnered with Blue Ghost Brewing Co. to host the inaugural Picklepalooza! Taking place Monday, November 14 from 3-7:00 PM at the Fletcher brewery, admission is free, but $5 donations to benefit the Asheville Area Habitat for Humanity will be accepted.
The quirky event will have pickle samplings, a pickle eating contest, pickle juice shooters (nonalcoholic), kids’ activities, live music from The Log Noggins & The Bald Mountain Boys, face painting, and pickleball. Additionally, Blue Ghost has created a Gose-style pickle beer, and Kinfolk food truck will have fried pickles and swag that will include glass Christmas pickle ornaments!
