Pittsburg, PA
When is Picklesburgh 2025? Dates announced for annual festival.
Here’s some news that pickle lovers will relish: the dates for this year’s Picklesburgh festival are set.
Picklesburgh is scheduled for Friday, July 11 through Sunday, July 13, the Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership announced on Wednesday.
The news comes as Picklesburgh was once again voted the best food festival in the USA Today Readers’ Choice Awards. It’s the fourth win for Picklesburgh, which placed second last year. Picklesburgh beat out competitors like the National Buffalo Wing Festival in Buffalo, New York, and the Cheese Curd Festival in Ellsworth, Wisconsin.
“We want to thank all the pickle-passionate people and dill devotees who cast their votes over the past few weeks,” Jeremy Waldrup, the president and CEO of the Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership, said in a news release. “We look forward to relishing this sweet victory with all of you when Picklesburgh returns in July!”
Picklesburgh was established in 2015 and has grown every year, with last year’s 250,000 attendees breaking a record. The festival started out on the Rachel Carson Bridge but recently expanded its footprint, moving to the Boulevard of the Allies and growing to four days.
This year’s location details will be announced soon, according to Picklesburgh’s website.
A hunter in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, was charged after nearly shooting a person, according to police.
Karen Gaus, 42, was arrested and charged with recklessly endangering another person and disorderly conduct in connection with the incident, officials said.
The Susquehanna Regional Police Department said in a news release that officers responded to Beattys Tollgate Road in East Donegal Township on Nov. 29 for a hunting complaint. Police said a homeowner was outside their residence when they heard multiple gunshots and a bullet passing by.
Officers began investigating and found Gaus nearby, who admitted that she was hunting and fired two shots at a deer in the direction of the victim’s home, according to the news release.
Gaus, according to court documents, is awaiting her preliminary hearing, which is scheduled for Jan. 12, 2026.
Pennsylvania’s firearms deer season ends on Saturday. It opened on Nov. 29 and included two Sundays: Nov. 30 and Dec. 7. Earlier this summer, Gov. Josh Shapiro signed a bill that reversed what state lawmakers called the “outdated” ban on Sunday hunting.
Before the firearms deer season began, the Game Commission said it expected more than 500,000 hunters would be out and about.
The New York Giants have released former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Ray-Ray McCloud, the team announced. McCloud was on their practice squad.
McCloud was released from the Atlanta Falcons earlier this season after being sent home by head coach Raheem Morris in a mysterious exit.
“I sent him home,” Morris said. “Excused absence — home. Working through some things right now that are private with my young man, and we’ll figure those things out as we go.”
The former Falcons wide receiver room has gone through ups and downs. They fired wide receivers coach Ike Hilliward in Week 3, a coach that McCloud is close with from his time with the Steelers. Hilliard coached McCloud for two seasons.
Morris said that McCloud’s issues have nothing to do with the fact that Hilliard was fired.
“This is between Ray-Ray, the organization and us and dealing with those things,” Morris said. “Nothing to do with that. It is just more a football thing and what we got to get straightened out.”
The former Steelers wide receiver is a valuable slot receiver who can also be a key cog on returns, but has floated around the NFL over the years trying to find a long-term home.
