The World’s Largest Pickle Party Is Coming To Philly

Pickle lovers rejoice!  The world's largest pickle party is coming to Philly this Summer.  Nothing says summer like a festival of fun, family, music, and eating and drinking everything pickle flavored.

You don't have to worry about parking, because the Phillies are away for their games in Baltimore against the Orioles.  So if you love pickles or know someone who does, this is a fun Summer activity to add to the calendar.  It's also the first time it's in Philadelphia, which makes it even more fun.

“The Big Dill is no ordinary event; it’s a movement,” Founder Kevin Baxter explained in a news release. "The Big Dill has become a global sensation, with fans traveling from all over the world to participate in this event. And in 2024, The City of Brotherly Love will be at the epicenter of all the fermentation frenzy!”

At The Big Dill World’s Largest Pickle Party, guests will enjoy beverages crafted with premium spirits and gourmet pickles, including The Original Pickle Shot – a flagship offering that has captivated pickle lovers nationwide; Pickle Margaritas – premium tequila blended with the briny zest of pickles; Pickle Bloody Marys – a savory creation featuring a gourmet pickle garnish for a drink that’s as visually stunning as it is delicious; Pickle Back Shot Experience – whiskey shots followed by a Pickle Juice Chaser; and a Pickle Beer produced by a local craft brewer.

This year’s Big Dill World’s Largest Pickle Party is going to be quite the party, filled with lots of food, drinks, and activities: Customized Instagram Experiences, Pickle Pitching, Pickleball, Rock Climbing, Outdoor Games, AXE Throwing, Face Painting Booths, and a Kids Zone for little Gherkins.

Citizens Bank Park became the home of the Philadelphia Phillies 20 years ago, and the ballpark will debut new food and special merchandise options as part of a year-long milestone celebration.

Jim Thome and company christened the ballpark in 2004. Ryan Howard helped bring a World Series to Philadelphia in 2008, and Bryce Harper hopes to bring another. While the most passionate MLB fan base watches the Fightin’ Phils, they can also enjoy the best eats of any MLB ballpark.

Nothing can replace the good old American hot dog. Peanuts and crackers might be another tradition, but why limit youself given the incredible list of food options at Citizens Bank Park?

You’ve tried Bull’s BBQ and Chickie’s and Pete’s crab fries for two decades at the home of the Philadelphia Phillies. You’ve probably mixed the classics with newer options like the Schwarburger. Combine it all with brand new options like the bratwurst sandwich or the buffalo chicken hoagies from Greens and Grains.

If you’re feeling up to it, wash it down with one of those crazy beer bats while you’re at it. Do anything that helps you enjoy the crack of the bat and the summer atmosphere.

It’s all part of the Citizens Bank Park experience when the Phillies are back in the conversation as a World Series contender.

Dan Baker rolled out his best Harry Kalas impersonation to introduce former Phillies great Mickey Morandini. The Phillie Phanatic, of course, won’t miss a beat or a good food option at Citizens Bank Park this summer. The classic ballpark atmosphere will send chills down the spines of Phillies fans from Opening Day through Red October.

The summer serenity of the ballpark hits Philadelphia as much as the Jersey Shore or a celebration of America’s birthplace on the 4th of July. Citizens Bank Park is once again the place to be.
