Labor Day weekend, annually

Packer Orchards, a family farm and bakery operating in the Hood River Valley since 1920, throws a pickle festival at its Farm Place on Thomsen Road over Labor Day weekend. Visitors sample more than 40 varieties of the farm's pickles — dill, spicy, sweet, and creative seasonal flavors — alongside the farm stand's fresh fruit and baked goods. The 2025 edition ran August 30-31; the 2026 dates have not been announced yet, so the listing uses an estimated Labor Day weekend window.
