Mount Olive is just about an hour’s drive, to the southeast, from Raleigh, and is a little closer for those along I-40 East, like Garner, Benson, and Willow Springs.
This annual event is a big deal. Or as they say, a big “dill.” Ok, now it’s been said.
If you love pickles, it’s definitely worth the drive, as there will be more kinds of pickles than you can even imagine.
