Read a full statement from Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership president and CEO, Jeremy Waldrup:
“After an unprecedented weekend, we’re extending Sunday’s festival by two hours, opening early at 11 am and staying open until 7 pm,” said Jeremy Waldrup, president and CEO of the Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership.
“The heart of Picklesburgh has always been our small businesses. These are folks who prepped for months, who have been proudly schlepping pickles for years because they love this city as much as we do. This weekend hasn’t gone the way we expected, but the forecast is turning a corner on Sunday, giving our vendors the finish they deserve.
So, we’re asking all of western PA: come out Sunday. Buy a jar, grab a pickle on a stick, tell a vendor their stand looks great. Help them sell every last pickle. Every single visit matters more than you know.
We are endlessly grateful for this community, and we can’t wait to see you in the sunshine.”
