The City of Beverly Hills Community Services has partnered with the legendary Beverly Hills deli, Nate ‘n Al’s to bring the annual Picklefest to the Beverly Hills Farmers’ Market on Aug. 7 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
The event will feature prizes in the categories of “Best Dill Pickle in Beverly Hills” and “I Can Pickle That!” Contestants in the latter category are encouraged to submit any type of pickled fruit or vegetable. “We’ve had people pickle everything from the traditional cucumbers to fruit items like watermelon and stone fruit,” said Evan Doyle, Farmers’ Market Supervisor. All pickled produce submitted must be grown in California.
