Pickathon put The War on Drugs, Big Thief, Khruangbin, Tyler Childers, and Billy Strings on the map before the rest of the world caught up. Pendarvis Farm is nowadays hemmed in by tract housing and McMansions, but during Pickathon you wouldn’t know it. The stages and venues are built into the wooded landscape, and wandering from stage to stage and booth to booth is a pleasure. The Woods Stage, ringed by towering trees, remains a signature setting. INFOBOXPickathon 2026 runs July 30 to August 2 at Pendarvis Farm in Happy Valley, Oregon.
