Haven’t heard of every band on the lineup? Good. That’s the magic.
For a quarter-century, Pickathon’s legacy has been turning today’s discoveries into tomorrow’s icons. The festival helped launch the careers of roots trailblazers like Sturgill Simpson, Tyler Childers, and Billy Strings; genre-bending visionaries like Khruangbin and Kamasi Washington; and indie breakouts like Big Thief, Leon Bridges, and Wet Leg—all long before the rest of the world caught on. Pickathon doesn’t follow the hype—it finds the artists people will follow for life.
That same spirit of intimacy and adventure also draws musical legends who choose this farm to create truly memorable performances, far from the glare of a stadium tour.
But attendees aren’t just buying a ticket for a band—they’re buying a ticket to a world that will never exist again. Forget the dusty open field. For four days, Pendarvis Farm is transformed into a cultural metropolis built into nature. Its stages, bars, restaurants, spas, and family spaces are temporary architectural masterpieces, designed by visionary creators for pure exploration, not crowds—a world that vanishes forever after the weekend.
This is a summer camp for the soul.
This is a milestone celebration, 25 years in the making. Trust the process. Join the journey—and find what’s been missing.

There are so many cool bands playing!!!
have always wanted to go!
i’m looking forward to finding my new favorite band; dancing the night away with friends at the galaxy barn; and sampling all of the amazing food carts that set up shop. pickathon is a special weekend for me and my friends – engagements and celebrations every year. looking forward to another amazing festival <3
Pickathon is the best! The lineup is always a journey of discovery. And there’s no better way to spend a weekend camping out with old and new friends this side of a congressionally designated wilderness.
I’ve always wanted to go, but I can’t afford the tickets. It would be amazing to finally see Pickathon!
Would be very excited to see SML and Surprise Chef. The number of u known bands is also a very intriguing part of this fest! Ch-ch-ch-choose me 🙂
Happy to hear it’s still happening in Happy Valley! Gladly would love to attend if chosen!
So interested in tickets to Pickathon this year! Just not in my budget right now..
Would love to see Surprise Chef and Fruit Bats! Just can’t afford tickets right now.
This is such an amazing festival and I would love to attend this yeaf!
My wife and I volunteered on staff and have been a few times, before it became too expensive, but we would love to go again! Please pick us!
Kika and Amanda Huston
Would make my summer!
I’ve been volunteering at Pickathon since 2013 and thought I’d have to miss it this year because of an injury, but here I am entering this contest.
Pickathon or Bust!
I’m in town looking for apartments to move here from California and would love to check out a local festival!
Have lived in the area for 15 years and have never been able to make Pickathon happen, especially after it got more expensive. What a super special community gathering we appear to have – I would love to experience it this year, finally!! I am ready to get lucky.
I would love to go, been years as cost increases have made it tough. Thanks!
would love to join the fun! and on my birthday weekend no less!
Pick me for Pickathon! I’ll bring my banjo that I don’t know how to play
I haven’t been to a Pacific Northwest music festival since I was a teenage kid with my head full of dreams. Now that I am a certified adult with a persistent case of existential dread, I need Pickathon 2025 to stir up some magic in my life. The Fruit Bats first cast their spell on me at Sasquatch 2004 and I just need a bit of wind to lift me back to their set 21 years later!
Yo my birthday is the day this begins, maybe I’ll get lucky!
Heck yeah!
What an amazing experience this would be!!!!
Would so love to go to this for the first time!
Would love to go this year to see Surprise chef at the Woods stage!
LOVE me some Pickathon! Have volunteered many years recently, but sadly didn’t have time this year. Always a treat to have a ticket fall in my lap!!
I’ve lived here 5 years and have yet to go! This would be super awesome to win!
Pickathon, every year is a slice of heaven!
Love to go to this event!
Ooooh, yes please!!! 25th anniversary should be awesome and my husband whose a nurse actually has that weekend off!!!
I’ve never been. I love the thought of going and being there, with the music and the feels but I’ve never had the wherewithal to make that happen.
We always enjoy discovering new bands and getting of the grid for a weekend!
surprise chef closing out the woods stage on Saturday followed by SML closing out the whole day
Would love for a break from work with some great music.
I’d like to attend to discover new bands and music!
This would be magical!
This would be amazing, we would absolutely love it!
Would love to be able to attend this amazing event!
Oh man what a great giveaway! I’ve always wanted to check this out! Sounds like a super fun time!
Please please yeah! Love to
I wanna dance with somebody
Oh, please, smile upon me!!
Oh my this sounds like a dream come true. Haven’t been for several years and this lineup is 🔥
I’d like to go because I’m staring a new music festival in Portland (its called Summer Shred and happening 8/16/25). I’ve spent so much time since January thinking of how a music festival should run and going to Pickathon would give me an opportunity to see how one of the biggest and best festivals in the country does it. That in addition to seeing a bunch of rad bands!!
This is an amazing lineup! We’d love to go. Thanks
Winning would be so amazing. Love Pickathon. 🎶🎶🎶
Wow summer camp for the soul! Would love to attend!
Pickathon is magical, and quite expensive! I would give these tickets to two of my Amazon Dragon Paddling Club (Queer/Trans women) dragon boat teammates who don’t have the funds to attend.
And the winner is…
ME!!!!
Love so many of these bands!
This will be an epic festival! My husband and I will be celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary – what an awesome present!
Music rocks!
Pickathon tix would make my year! So many great acts to see!
Thanks!
I’ve always wanted to go to a fun festival and never had the chance! I would also love to see Portugal the Man! They’re originally from AK but live here and I’m originally from AK but live here. I used to listen to them for comfort when I first started college. Would love the chance to attend this event!
Amazing musicians, great merriment and community building all within the Portland metro area is just incredible! I’d love to go experience this magic.
The only time I’ve been to Pendarvis Farm was to drop off my less-than-enthused child at summer camp. At the time there was a heat dome or some such and our poor child was subjected to end of time weather conditions, huddling under crudely erected sun shelters and wandering for miles across the campus in and out of bizarre, ghostly, semi-structures of unknown origin that appeared to have hosted at one time performances by apparitions or phantoms?? Needless to say, the kid was properly freaked out. It only hit us after the week was survived that the bizarre stories of the grounds at her camp were not the product of heat induced hallucinations, but in fact were reports from a child, who while quite warm, happened across the magical grounds where the now legendary Pickathon is held.
We ask the fine folks at pdxpipline for a shot a redemption, a shot to collectively haunt the grounds of Pendarvis Farm during a time when it comes alive so that we can help the inspire the imagination of the next generation of campers who may just freak out their parents with sun drenched rants about this mysterious landscape.
I’ve always wanted to go to see these amazing bands!
Have always wanted to go to Pickathon, would love the chance to spend some time with some friends who are going!
I haven’t been in years but really want to get back out there!!
Ready to groove under the Oregon stars! Let’s make memories at Picathon – where culture, music, and magic collide. So much fun
Take me away
Best local festival and it looks like it won’t be painfully hot this year! I would love to win these and get a good dose of awesomeness to soothe my soul!
oh my gosh this would be so amazing. i have always wanted to go, but as a mom to 7 kids there’s never been a time. they are all old enough to make other arrangments for now, but everything i have goes to them. would be so cool to do a little something for me!
Half these bands I love and half these bands I don’t know I love yet.
This would be a special way to celebrate my anniversary with my partner!
Would love to go the festival!
25 years of this awesome event. So many good bands and many I would like to get to know! Please and thanking y’all for the opportunity! Cheers.
A Pickathon giveaway!! Dreams really can come true! With gratitude, Emily.
Let’s gooooo
I have missed frolicking on the farm and finding some new favorite bands. This would be an incredible gift to win after a very tough year personally.
My fiancé was diagnosed with cancer in April, and it’s been rough. Pickathon is her favorite place in the world, it’s where she feels most alive. We had to cancel our plans this year because of medical costs, but this would mean everything. She needs some light right now, and Pickathon would bring that.
I’d love to experience Pickathon
I have never been to this and it sounds fun. I also love PTM so this would be right up my alley.
To bring my niece to her first farm festival with an amazing line up!
2025 Pickathon!!! im in

My brother will be in town and has never been!!!!
I’d love to go, so many great bands!
This is the party of all parties!
Would love to go!

I’ve been dreaming of going for YEARS! Help me make my bucket list goal happen!
