This event is an old-fashioned town fair. The Winchester’s annual Pickle Festival is fun for all. Downtown Winchester becomes the fairgrounds, with Main Street (Route 10) the parade route. Kids march along with the parade, which features local pickle-themed floats, plenty of pickle costumes and marching bands. Along the route are craftsmen (many demonstrating), food booths, and a lively competition among local cooks for the best jar of pickles. There are free pickles for everyone.
Live music goes on all day, with everything from blues and country-western to a barbershop quartet and violin ensemble.
To Find the Pickles
All events take place on Main Street (Route 10) in Winchester. Winchester is south of Keene – just follow Route 10 south from the Route 101 intersection.
