Pickles are one of the most controversial foods in existence: people either love or hate them, without much grey area in between. If you fall into the former category, there’s a can’t-miss festival coming up on September 7 in Kingwood. It’s a full day of pickle-themed antics, including jelly, beer, and even cupcakes. Get ready to pucker up!
On September 7, Houston’s first-ever pickle festival will turn the town sour from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. It will take place at Kingwood Town Center Park, and admission is totally free.
