“Pickathon is the only festival by the fans and for the fans, and it really makes you feel a part of something special.” - Adam Granduciel, The War on Drugs

Cheers to Athletic Brewing Co for helping keep Pickathon refreshed all weekend long. 🍻

From their welcoming bar to their award-winning non-alcoholic brews, Athletic gave festivalgoers another great place to gather between sets.

Some festivals decorate a venue. Our visual artists create a world.

Around every bend in the trail, tucked beneath the trees, and woven between the stages were installations waiting to be discovered—turning Pendarvis Farm into a place that could only exist for one weekend.

To every artist who imagined, built, painted, sculpted, and installed these works: thank you. Your creativity gave the festival another layer of wonder, reminding us that discovery doesn’t only happen on stage.

Until we build it all again. 🌿

The frog has always been a symbol of a healthy ecosystem—a reminder that when the environment thrives, so does everything around it. This year, it became a symbol of the people who make Pickathon what it is.

The stages are coming down, the dust is settling, and Pendarvis Farm is slowly returning to its everyday rhythm. Every year we’re reminded just how difficult it is to say goodbye to this place.

Thank you to every artist, maker, volunteer, crew member, partner, vendor, neighbor, and every person who joined us on the farm. Your generosity, curiosity, creativity, and care are what transform these woods into something extraordinary.

Pickathon is a place of discovery. A world unto itself. For a few days Pendarvis Farm becomes home to unexpected moments, lifelong friendships, unforgettable performances, and the kind of magic that can only be experienced, never fully explained.

We say it every year because somehow it’s always true: this was our best year yet.

Thank you for believing in what we build together. We’ll see you back on the farm next summer. 💚🐸

What’s in your cup?

Four days of music. New friends. Forest mornings. Late-night sets. Countless refills. A whole lot of Pickathon.

A huge thank you to for another year as our official cup sponsor and for helping us make sustainability part of the experience. We’re grateful for three years of partnership and for every reusable cup that helped keep the farm a little cleaner.

Here’s to the memories we made—and all the refills along the way. 💚♻️
