Saturday: Philadelphia Picklefest!

This Saturday from 2 to 10, the South Philly art space Storage at 1414 S Darien Street will host the first-ever Philadelphia Picklefest, which will celebrate brined fare in both edible and artistic formats. "Pickles being a summertime food, and [considering] we haven't seen to much art related to pickles, we combined the two," says Storage co-founder Preston Link. On the art front, there'll be plenty of pickle-centric 2-D pieces (paintings, drawings), plus some sculpture work, as well. Try your hand at "pickle hole," a cuked-out variation on cornhole; Link says they'll also hang a pickle pinata, but it will be filed with candy, not half-sours and bread-and-butters (probably a good call). Everyone who's showing at Picklefest has been asked to bring a pickled dish along with their art. Link isn't exactly sure what will materalize, but he believes pickled fiddleheads, pickled eggs, pickled pig's feet, deep-fried pickle chips and even pickled martinis should be on the menu. Admission is free and guests are encouraged to both BYOB and BYOP.
