Set for July 4 is the return of the Pickle Festival in Berrien Springs. The event is coming off a 15-year hiatus, starting with a 5K run at 8 a.m. on the fourth and continuing with activities throughout the day. The Pickle Festical started in 1995 as the Christmas Pickle Festival until it was discontinued. A promotional video on Facebook hails the event’s return, telling us we’ll relish the Pickle Festival because it’s going to be a big dill.
Other planned activities include big wheel racing, the famous pickle fling, and even a pickle decorating contest. It’s being organized by the village of Berrien Springs, the Berrien Springs Community Library, and the Berrien County Historical Association. For more information, you can follow the Pickle Festival’s Facebook page.
