Experience ultimate comfort at Pickathon on the lush 80-acre Pendarvis Farm. Our festival is designed with your well-being in mind, using the natural landscape and timing to ensure you’re always in the shade.

Enjoy air-conditioned indoor barns, free water stations throughout the grounds, and shaded forest camping. We’re also watering the venues to keep them cool and dust-free.

With fewer crowds than typical festivals, you’ll have plenty of space to relax. Discover restorative zones in the refuge, offering massages, cold plunges, showers, and saunas to help you reset each day.

Join us for a refreshing and enjoyable festival experience where your comfort is our priority.

Wellness Tips to Prepare for Pickathon:

  • Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water. Refillable water stations are available across the festival grounds.
  • Seek Shade: Take breaks in shaded areas. All indoor venues have air conditioning.
  • Wear Sunscreen: Apply sunscreen regularly to protect your skin.
  • Dress For Heat: Wear light, breathable clothing, and a hat.
  • Stay Informed: Check out local Watches, Warnings & Advisories and download the 2024 Festival Map to find rest areas. Check our Wellness Lineup: Your Guide to Rejuvenation at Pickathon 2024 for more tips!
  • Rest: Listen to your body and rest if you start to feel overheated.
  • Stay Cool: A new crew will be continually watering venues to keep them cool and dust-free. Apply a cool cloth or bandana on your skin. Bring a handheld fan.

We’re excited to welcome you to Pickathon and want to ensure everyone has a safe and enjoyable experience. Let’s look out for each other and make this weekend amazing!

Pickathon x Cherry Hill x PSU Student Crossover

We chatted with PSU students at the Cherry Hill stage!
