Pickathon

Pickathon is one of America's most beloved and distinctive music festivals, returning to the lush, forested grounds of Pendarvis Farm in Happy Valley, Oregon from July 30 through August 2, 2026. Nestled just outside Portland, this intimate boutique festival has earned a legendary reputation for its unique blend of folk, Americana, rock, and experimental sounds, all set against a breathtaking natural backdrop. What truly sets Pickathon apart is its commitment to sustainability, community, and an immersive artistic experience. Multiple stages are woven organically into the forest and fields of the farm, creating an atmosphere that feels more like a gathering of kindred spirits than a traditional music festival. The festival is renowned for its cashless, wristband-based system and its dedication to being one of the greenest events in the country. Beyond the music, Pickathon offers a rich tapestry of art installations, family-friendly activities, and a deeply welcoming community spirit. Attendees camp on-site, fostering a genuine sense of togetherness that keeps people returning year after year. With carefully curated lineups that spotlight both celebrated artists and exciting emerging talent, Pickathon remains a must-attend event for music lovers seeking something truly special in the Pacific Northwest.
