You think you know music festivals? Pickathon will make you rethink everything. Leave your expectations at the gate. This isn’t your typical festival, it’s a portal to a different world of music. Imagine stumbling upon your new favorite band while wandering through a sun-dappled forest.

We don’t just book headliners; we cultivate a community of groundbreaking artists. You’ll leave with a playlist full of hidden gems and stories of ‘I saw them before they were big.’ The smaller size of the fest and the multiple performances give you a much higher chance of actually meeting some of the artists.

Imagine stages nestled among towering trees, where the music blends seamlessly with the sounds of nature. Feel the cool forest air, hear the music resonate through the trees, and taste the locally sourced flavors – Pickathon is a feast for the senses. This isn’t just a backdrop; it’s an integral part of the experience, providing shade and comfort.

More than just a festival, Pickathon is a gathering of like-minded souls. We prioritize sustainability with our reusable dish program and creating a space where you can connect with nature and each other guilt-free. Enjoy the significant savings that come with free camping.

Pickathon has a reputation for being something special, an experience that those who’ve been understand on a deeper level. Join the ‘IYKYK’ (if you know, you know) crowd and discover why. Pickathon is a “word of mouth” festival. Once you experience the magic, you’ll never look at festivals the same way again.
