The Pickle Festival is back! Join University Dining for the Second Annual Pickle Festival!

April 01, 2026

It’s the moment you’ve been waiting for—and your taste buds will love!

The Second Annual Pickle Festival is officially taking over North Dining on Wednesday, April 8th, from 4 – 7 p.m. We’re moving beyond the jar this year with exclusive creations and activities you won’t find anywhere else on campus.

What’s the Big Dill?

•    The Tasting Lab: We’ve been recipe testing all month. Come sample our latest (and wildest) creations—yes, even the rumors about chocolate-covered pickles are true.
•    Pickle-Centric Eats: Our eateries are going full-brine with limited-edition à la carte items available for purchase.
•    The Main Stage: Whether you’re competing in the Pickle Flinging Competition, showing off your skills at the Pickle Spoon Races, or getting artistic with Dill E. Pickle painting, there’s a prize (and a photo op) waiting for you.

Check out the full lineup of activities and food on the University Dining Webpage.

Whether you’re a die-hard pickle fan or just here for the chaos, come relish the afternoon with us. See you at North!
