The secret is almost out. 2026 is shaping up to be a historic year on the farm, and we are ready to reveal the lineup. But before we tell the world, we want to celebrate with you.
Join us Sunday, January 25 for the official Pickathon 2026 Lineup Announcement Party.
We are taking over The People’s Courts in Portland for a high-energy interactive reveal. This isn’t a sit-down presentation; it’s a party where you are part of the action.
The Details
- When: Sunday, January 25
- Time: 6:00 PM – 10:00 PM
- Where: The People’s Courts (2700 NE 82nd Ave, Portland)
- Tickets: Available via Zeffy (Proceeds benefit Creative Neighborhoods)
An Interactive Takeover: Games Included
Your admission isn’t just a cover charge—it’s an all-access pass to one of Portland’s best venues.
- Free Play: We’ve unlocked the venue. Pickleball, Cornhole, Bocce Ball, and Ping Pong are all included with your ticket.
- The Vibe: No matter where you are—playing a match on the courts, grabbing dinner at The Kitchen, or relaxing in the lounge—you will be right in the middle of the reveal.
- The Reveal: We are mixing large-scale music videos of the 2026 artists with tracks playing throughout the venue.
- Win Prizes: Keep your ears open! We will be hosting live “Guess the Artist” games and audience participation challenges throughout the night.
The Super-Raffle + Silent Auction (Win from Anywhere)
We’ve curated a massive lineup of experiences, vacation packages, and one-of-a-kind items to support Creative Neighborhoods.
Even if you can’t make the party, you can still support the mission and win big. Raffle tickets and silent auction items will be available online in advance of the event, so anyone can participate, from anywhere.
Every ticket purchased directly supports the world-building, workforce training, and creative reuse that power Pickathon’s neighborhoods.
New raffle prizes and silent auction items will be revealed regularly in the weeks ahead — check back often.
Funding the Magic: A Benefit for Creative Neighborhoods
This party has a purpose. It is a benefit for our nonprofit partner, Creative Neighborhoods.
Creative Neighborhoods is the engine that builds the world of Pickathon. They coordinate the design teams and architecture that transform Pendarvis Farm.
Pickathon is the Peak Platform
For 2026, we are planning over a dozen public neighborhoods. Pickathon serves as the accelerator for the non-profits behind these spaces, helping them exceed their fundraising goals and amplify their missions.
Your ticket funds the art of 2026.
- The Art & Shade: They build the woven cathedrals and “Neighborhoods” you relax in.
- The Legacy: They upcycle festival materials into assets for local schools and shelters.
- The Mission (People & Partners): Your support directly funds two key pillars of our impact:
- Workforce Activation: We deliver high-value, hands-on pre-apprenticeship training in a high-visibility, professional environment.
- Partner Amplification: We amplify mission stories and impact to fuel partner fundraising and achieve elevated outcomes for the community.
Proceeds from your ticket and 10% of all food and drink at the party go directly to funding these materials. Come have a drink, play some pickleball, and help build the festival.
