Summer planning season is officially here.
Early Bird tickets for Pickathon 2026 go on sale Wednesday, January 7, at 10:00 AM. This is your chance to secure the lowest price of the year.
Major News: Wednesday is the New Thursday
This is the biggest change for 2026. Because Thursday is now a full show day with a packed lineup, we have permanently moved Early Entry to Wednesday.
- The Change: Gates for Early Arrival will now open at 5:00 PM on Wednesday.
- The Solution: Arrive Wednesday night, get your camp or vehicle situated, and wake up on the farm Thursday morning. You get to enjoy the full Thursday lineup without the stress of load-in.
The Pickathon Standard: No “Comfort Tax” Required
At most festivals, the ticket price is just the beginning. You often have to pay for expensive VIP upgrades just to find a place to sit or escape the heat. At Pickathon, comfort is the standard.
Your Ticket Includes:
- Follow the Shade: We keep you in the cool woods by day and under the stars by night, with ample seating (rugs, benches, lounges) in every neighborhood.
- Real Food & Drink: No carnival food. We curate the best local chefs, breweries, and wineries at standard street prices.
- Wellness & Hygiene: Access to showers, wellness zones, and water stations is included.
- Kids 12 & Under Go Free: Kids are full citizens here. They get in free (with a ticketed adult) and access our legendary family programming.
