Join us for a trip to Mt. Olive for the NC Pickle Festival. Enjoy all the sights and sounds of downtown Mt. Olive as it transforms into a great spring event for all. Check out the vendors, browse the tractor show, try all the different foods this event has to offer and make sure to take in some music, located in various locations. The Museum is a great stop along the way as well, but definitely make sure to grab a pickle from the many Mt. Olive Pickle Company. It promises to be a great event with many more sites and activities, not to mention the local stores.
