🥒 Picklesburgh Gets A New Venue

More locals are relishing in Picklesburgh every year, so the festival is moving to the Boulevard of the Allies to accommodate the crowd — the street will be shut down for three city blocks between Stanwix and Smithfield streets, July 21-23. The 35-foot Heinz pickle balloon will fly over PPG Plaza.
