St. Patrick’s Day Pickle Parade

This may be the most “different” parade that I’ve ever attended.

Mansfield, Texas, Pickles, St. Patricks Day, ParadeMansfield Texas is home to Best Maid Pickles. From pickles to the Pickle Queens, this town parade has a little bit of everything (except the town band) that’s green and related to pickles. It’s a great way to incorporate leprechauns and pickles! Let’s take a glance!
