Vendors, Food, and Fun at Texarkana Pickle Fest Sept. 13

Get ready for a dill-icious day in downtown Texarkana! The Inaugural Texarkana Pickle Fest is happening Saturday, September 13, 2025, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Front Street Festival Plaza in Texarkana, Arkansas, and it’s completely FREE to attend.

Organizers are planning a pickle-packed day celebrating all things pickle, with 75+ vendors, 10 food trucks, live entertainment, and loads of family fun. You’ll find pickle-themed foods, beer and wine tents, photo ops with mascot duo Dill’Lyla and Dillon, a pickle canning competition, pickle juice drinking contest, and even a pet pickle parade complete with a costume contest.

Kids can enjoy the Sweet Pickle Patch tent, and there will also be non-pickle food options available, perfect for those just along for the ride!
