Winchester Pickle Festival
Annual Monadnock Region Event

This event is part old-fashioned town fair and part spoof on the many food festivals that fill New England's event calendar. The Winchester?s annual Pickle Festival is fun for all. Downtown Winchester becomes the fairgrounds, with Main Street (Route 10) the parade route. Kids march along with the parade, which features local pickle-themed floats, plenty of pickle costumes and marching bands. Along the route are craftsmen (many demonstrating), food booths, and a lively competition among local cooks for the best jar of pickles. There are free pickles for everyone.

Live music goes on all day, with everything from blues and country-western to a barbershop quartet and violin ensemble.

The ad is not 100% correct.

The festival is on Saturday 9/23 (not 9/24). It runs from 10 to 5.

I don't know why they think it's a spoof, but I've never heard anyone say that before. It's a real festival with pickles to eat and pickle t-shirts, etc. Maybe they think it's funny (I guess maybe it is, a little).
