St Paddy's Pickel Parade and Palooza

Mansfield, Texas is the place to be for the best pickle party in Texas.

This all started with their first pickle parade in 2012 and now they are going 14 years strong. If you thought you had seen every type of pickle, you haven't until you have been to the parade.

What does a pickle parade need? A pickle run of course!

If you want to burn off some calories before digging into the different types of pickles, you can sign up for a 5k or 1-mile run.

With free admission, you can enjoy endless vendors, pickle activities, meet the Pickle Queens, live music and so much more. Check out some of the fun on their Facebook page.

Why Is Mansfield The Pickle Capital?

Mansfield was crowned the pickle capital of the world in 2013, why?

Mildred Dalton was a local who sold groceries from her home in Mansfield. She was stuck with a bunch of pickles left over from her famous "burger spread," so she had to start selling them.

That's when the company Best Maid Pickles was born. Since then Mansfield has embraced it and has leaned into being the pickle capital.
