Transportation Options

There are three transportation options available for Weekend Pickathon festival-goers:

Weekend Parking: This pass is for parking a vehicle (max 16′) or a motorcycle in the Welcome Lot. RVs, large vehicles, and trailers are not allowed. Camping in or near the vehicle is strictly prohibited. To make it easier for you to travel between the festival and the Welcome Lot (which is about 1 mile away), there’s a free shuttle and pedestrian/bike path available.

Weekend Parking (Oversize): This pass is the same as Weekend Parking except for oversized vehicles between 16′-24′ long.

Shuttle Pass: This pass is perfect for those who want to travel to and from the festival easily. It provides unlimited rides throughout the weekend. To use the Shuttle Pass, you can take the Tri-Met Max Lightrail from anywhere in the Portland metro area to the Lents Town Center/Foster Rd Max stop. From there, you can take the Pickathon Shuttle, which runs once an hour. The Shuttle Pass also includes three local hotel options that are part of the Shuttle Pass loop. Please note that you need to purchase Shuttle Passes for each passenger over the age of 12.

Bicycle Pass: This pass is ideal for those who prefer cycling, as it is the lowest climate impact option available. It allows one bicycle to park inside the Pickathon grounds for free. You can take advantage of the support offered by the festival, including guided rides from Portland, bike transportation maps, and onsite bike racks, where you can securely lock your bike.

Vehicle Camping Passes:

We offer various vehicle camping passes to cater to your needs. However, please note that all vehicle camping passes are only valid for Pickathon attendees with Weekend Tickets. You can arrive at the festival when the gates open on Friday, August 2nd, and must leave by Monday morning, August 5th. If you plan to arrive on Thursday, everyone traveling with you will need an early entry Thursday ticket.
