Pickathon Film Crew Announcement

This one comes from the heart. A note on our film crew, what’s changing in 2026, and what we’re working toward.

Starburst: A Backstage Neighborhood Under the Stars

Starburst is a new pavilion rising above The Bluff at Pickathon 2026 — eleven timber modules, a folded canopy framing Mt. Hood, and a backstage neighborhood built for those inside the circle. Patron Pass holders only.

Were we not alone?

In 2026, a collection of massive objects in various states of disrepair were discovered in the woods surrounding Pendarvis Farm. Their purpose and who built them remains a mystery to us.

Mountains of Sound Returns to Pickathon 2026

Mountains of Sound returns to Pickathon’s Market neighborhood in 2026 as a 120-frame circular timber pavilion inspired by Wizard Island at the center of Crater Lake. By day a shaded meeting point, after dark a dance floor with sound embedded in every direction.

Meet The 2026 DJ Lineup

Pickathon’s 2026 DJ lineup is here. Meet the 30+ DJs bringing deep crates, global sounds, and late-night dance parties to Pendarvis Farm this July 30 – August 2.
