NC Pickle Festival

Mount Olive the community and Mt. Olive the company come together each year in April to celebrate the unique, dilly relationship that has benefited both greatly since 1926. The festival is held the last full weekend of April each year.

The festival is put on annually by the Mount Olive Area Chamber of Commerce, and proceeds benefit community projects and programs year-round.

The N.C. Pickle Festival has claimed a number of awards in its 20 years of its existence. Its sponsors, newspaper insert, promotions, cap design, t-shirts, volunteers and volunteer programs have all captured top honors from the North Carolina Association of Festivals and Events.

Best of all, it's simply a fun festival. Enjoy one of the largest car shows in Eastern North Carolina, browse through a diverse offering of arts and crafts, enjoy live music and entertainment, and sample a wide variety of good eats.

Just save room for the pickles.
