This year's Picklesburgh festival will have an expanded layout across Downtown Pittsburgh and the North Shore
The Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership has announced an expanded layout for this year's upcoming Picklesburgh festival.
This year's festival will be held from July 11 to July 13, and the Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership says the expanded layout will make for "its most ambitious footprint to date."
A new location for Picklesburgh
When the festival returns this summer for its 10th anniversary, Picklesburgh will be held on the Roberto Clemente and Andy Warhol bridges, in Allegheny Landing on the North Shore, along Fort Duquesne Boulevard and a stretch of 6th Street, in the Heinz Hall courtyard, in Market Square, and in PPG Plaza.

The Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership says the expanded footprint will help to support the growth of the event, safety for crowds, and an enhanced festival experience.
"Picklesburgh brings tens of thousands of people to Downtown each year, and has raised Pittsburgh's profile as a summer destination," said Jeremy Waldrup, President and CEO of the Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership. "With this expanded footprint, featuring two of our city's most iconic bridges and beautiful PPG Plaza, we can't wait to DILL-iver the best festival experience possible. As a signature event for Pittsburgh and the region, with fans from near and far, it's exciting to see the festival continue
to grow and evolve."
Picklesburgh was first held in 2015, and since then, it has become one of the largest festivals in all of the Pittsburgh area.
Picklesburgh sees continued growth over a decade
What started as a small business celebration and niche festival has become one of the most anticipated events in the city.
At the center of it is the Pittsburgh Pickle Company.
"We started our company the same year that Picklesburgh began, and the festival's yearly arrival has always kept us on our toes, forcing us to fine-tune our approach and keep things fresh, new, and exciting," said John Patterson, CEO of Pittsburgh Pickle. "Picklesburgh has become a backdrop for the story that is our company. As I've said a thousand times before, there's no more perfect place on the planet than Pittsburgh to start a pickle company. Pickles are made here."
Since starting a decade ago, the Downtown Pittsburgh Partnership said that there has been a nearly 1000% increase in attendance, a 114% increase in vendors, 95,000 pickle beers served, 14,000 pickle balloons sold, and 800 quarts of pickle juice consumed.
With a new, expanded footprint coming this year, the Renaissance Pittsburgh Hotel is offering a "Picklesburgh Package" for guests coming into the city for the event.

How to Fix an SEO Campaign That Isn't Working
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. SEO is essential to boosting your company's online presence and generating leads. When done right, SEO can be an incredibly effective strategy for growth. It can increase traffic to your site and generate more conversions than conventional marketing. That said, many businesses are unaware of just how many factors can detract from their SEO efforts. If you feel as though you've been doing everything right but have yet to see concrete results, this article is for you. Related: 5 Powerful SEO Strategies for Small Businesses in 2025 SEO mistakes that can hurt your rankings SEO is not exactly straightforward. There are multiple ways to achieve a better page ranking. However, this also means there are multiple ways to prevent a page from ranking. The following are common SEO errors that can be fixed quite easily… so long as you catch them: Publishing duplicate content Some businesses make the mistake of creating new content optimized for certain keywords by duplicating pre-existing content and simply changing a few words. Search engines will not rank pages like this, as their ranking systems are designed to give preference to unique, high-quality content. The best way to avoid duplicate content is by running all website content through similarity checking software before publishing it. This is especially important for websites with multiple pages on the same topic. Failing to address keyword cannibalization Keyword cannibalization happens when two or more pages on a website target the same keywords. This causes the pages to compete with each other in search results and prevents them from achieving a high ranking. Merging competing pages is an effective way of addressing this issue. For example, if your website has a page on "massage therapy" and a page on "massage treatment," you may want to combine the pages into a single publication to prevent them from "cannibalizing" each other. Abandoning content creation SEO is an ongoing effort. It's not a one-time project that you can implement and be done with. While certain optimizations, like improving page structure, are permanent, you need to publish new, SEO-optimized content on a regular basis to increase organic traffic. Businesses that choose to work with an SEO agency often set a monthly quota for website articles and product pages. That way, they have a consistent goal to work toward. Related: I'm an SEO Expert — Here Are 6 Content Tips to Stand Out in Any Saturated Market Strategies that can boost your SEO campaign A successful campaign should invest in on-site, off-site, technical and content-related aspects of SEO, which all play an important role in building the authority of your site. Here are some of the most overlooked strategies in SEO: Improving the quality of your content While technical SEO is an essential ingredient in boosting your rankings, you are not going to get the results you want without investing in your content. Search engines like Google and their ranking systems prioritize reliable, relevant content that is helpful to readers. This means that everything you publish on your website should be accurate, easy to read and tailored to the search intent of your target audience. If your business operates in a highly specialized sector, hiring a technical writer is a good way to ensure the quality of your content. You can also elevate your blog posts, product pages and service pages by hiring a copyeditor. Targeting relevant keywords with lower search volume Only going after generic keywords with high search volume is one of the biggest mistakes you can make in SEO. Although keywords with high search volume have the potential to generate a large amount of leads, these search terms are highly competitive and often take time to rank. By targeting niche keywords that are relevant to your business, you are more likely to rank and attract a highly specific set of customers. To illustrate this point, let's say you run a catering business. Instead of optimizing your content for a generic keyword like "best catering service," you decide to target a more detailed query with lower search volume, like "catering service for children's birthday parties." Using this approach, you have a greater chance of achieving a high page ranking and attracting the right customers. Prioritizing high-quality backlinks Contrary to popular belief, not all backlinks are created equal. Getting backlinks from websites with high domain authority and a lower number of outgoing links will do more for your rankings than hitting up sites with low authority and hundreds of outgoing links. Effective strategies for landing high-quality backlinks include writing guest posts for other websites, creating content that other websites are likely to link to, and cold emailing other websites requesting a backlink to replace a broken link.

Whether you own a small e-commerce business or a large enterprise with multiple locations, SEO is essential to growing your consumer base, and the more you put into it, the more you will get out of it.
