During Orion Amphitheater’s first three years, headliners included the likes of Stevie Nicks, Robert Plant, Snoop Dogg, Jack White and Neil Young. In year four, Orion’s bringing in something arguably more beloved than any those music legends: pickles.

The inaugural Rocket City Pickle Fest is set for June 29. Orion’s website promises attendees will “have the brine of your lives.” That involves “live music, pickle-inspired eats and drinks, games, local vendors.” Pickle Fest tickets are $25 with children 12 and under admitted free. The event runs 11 a.m. – 5 p.m. More info at theorionhuntsville.com.
