Overview
About
Pickathon is held every first weekend of August at Pendarvis Farm in Happy Valley, Oregon. Started in 1999 as a fundraiser for radio station KBOO within Portland's bluegrass and Americana scene, it settled on this site in 2006 and has since broadened its programming to indie rock, hip-hop, folk, jazz and rhythm and blues. The festival is also known for its strong environmental commitments, including eliminating single-use plastics.
