We are thrilled to announce that Pickathon has been nominated as a top-five finalist in the prestigious Best of Portland Readers’ Poll! Specifically, we are in the running for Best Music Festival within the Arts & Entertainment category. This is an incredible honor, especially considering the poll received over 37,000 nominations this year. We couldn’t have achieved this without the love and support of our amazing community, and now we need your help to earn the ultimate bragging rights.

Pickathon is excited to announce its 2024 Comedy Lineup, expertly curated by the legendary Amy Miller. Taking place on Friday, August 2nd, and Saturday, August 3rd evenings at the festival’s Lucky Barn, these stand-up comedy nights are a celebrated Pickathon tradition, spotlighting some of the best rising comedians.

Amy Miller, who has been an integral part of shaping Pickathon’s comedy programming, takes the reins this year to assemble an impressive roster of talent, including Lisa Chanoux, Adam Pasi, Imani Denae, and Tom Thakkar. Each comedian will bring their unique flair to the stage, promising lots of laughter and entertainment.

Pickathon is for the kids! We have so much programming for families, in fact, that we’ve created an entire kids festival inside a festival! Our family-focused Coyote Neighborhood, in the woods above Cherry Hill, has been a huge hit for the past two years. Kids of all ages gather for exclusive performances and fun family activities from our Family Music Lineup. Beloved Portland “kindie” performer Red Yarn curates the Coyote experience alongside a dedicated team of artists and educators.
