When you step into the Farmhouse Neighborhood, you’ll immediately feel the festival’s community spirit. This area, designed as a welcoming gateway, bustles with energy and excitement. Here, festival-goers collect their tickets, meet up with friends, and soak in the initial vibes of the event. Additionally, the Farmhouse itself, a charming structure surrounded by lush greenery, acts as a beacon of hospitality and warmth.
The 2024 design team has truly outdone themselves, creating a space that blends rustic charm with modern convenience.
Full team: Aaron Maples, Taylor Shanley, Audrey Rycewicz , Betty Lou Poston, Reif Larsen

@pickathon couldn't happen without great partners. Thanks to Green Century ( @oregonrecycles ) and Zochert Fencing (zochertfence.com) for moving and staging timber for us that will be used in picakthon stages. Not only are they helping with the big lifting but Chris from Green Century Recycling is working on the Galaxy Barn, and Jason, owner of Zochert Fencing is helping build The Market! Let's not forget to thank @hamptonlumber for donating all this wood to work with!

Lucky Neighborhood 2024 – Sneak Peek
Saving one of the best for last!
The Lucky Barn, one of Pickathon’s indoor, air-conditioned venues, will host performances all through Friday through Sunday! Deep Deep Stretch Yoga, Flow Yoga and Power Flow Yoga classes will be held here in the mornings, so get your groove on before you get your groove on in the Lucky Neighborhood.
Plus, this year we will have fabric elements in the Lucky neighborhood for the behind Lucky Barn and walkway up to Paddock to create a shaded environment for festival goers.
We asked the Lucky Barn Neighborhood team what they have up their sleeve for August 1-4, 2024. Here’s what they said:
Sky, a member of the GuildWorks Sky Crew, has been attending and hanging fabric all over Pendarvis Farm since 2012. Pickathon and Lucky (the horse) have a special place in Sky’s heart. This year he is leading the fabric at the Lucky neighborhood. Expect an amazing and colorful shade canopy above, casting cooling shadows and “ground” fabrics to add interest reaching to the skies and leading people to and from the paddock field.
Market Neighborhood 2024 Sneak Peek:
Pickathon 2024 Neighborhood Sneak Peek Series continues! Today we meet our very special Market Neighborhood!
Here’s what the Market Neighborhood has planned for August 1-4, 2024:
The Market team is focused on creating a welcoming and vibrant bazaar atmosphere that invites you to linger, lounge, shop, dine, drink, and explore day-to-night interactive and engaging artwork, with modular lounge seating and picnic tables dotted throughout. Stop by the beer cart on your way to or from the artisan craft market. Double-helix wayfinding beacons, illuminated at night, will connect key spaces and help festival goers find their way to the next neighborhood or performance.
The gateway of the marketplace will elevate the transition between spaces, transporting festival goers from the shade of the Wood and Refuge into a bustling and energetic community area. With nods to both spaces, “tree” lights and market lanterns blend elements at the edge. The gateway will be well-trafficked at all times of day and night, prompting our design to respond to provide both shade in the day and an array of lighting elements at night.
Builder: Jason Reid, Designer Team: Jessie Vargo & Lukas Maurer

The Curation Neighborhood is home to our very special curated meals we coin our Curaton Lineup. These are unlike any meals you’ve had before in the most dreamy setting you could ever imagine swallowed up by the best up and coming bands. Each year, we create a unique space under the tree canopy, blending an elegant, botanical aesthetic with the community-building aspects of Pickathon that we all love.
We asked the team hard at work on the special Curation Neighborhood about their concept for August 1-4, 2024. Here’s what they said…
Beyond providing a cool, welcome respite under a canopy of trees, Curation aims to bring a refined culinary experience right back to the farm table, thoughtfully paired with a local chef and musical artist(s). The Curation design crew is privileged to continue a collaboration with local farmer and designer (aka, wizard) of everything botanical, Jen Rich of Rich Earth Designs. From breathtaking tablescapes to bright and lively stage decor, Jen’s flower creations vie for center stage attention.
This year’s design team is scheming to tuck in a few more spaces fit for gathering (while enjoying a pre-meal cocktail?) that make you feel as cozy as your grandma’s porch, but where you get to choose the tunes and invite your friends. For those who choose a dinnertime experience, the gradual transformation into a warmly lit woodland dance floor will find leaving the hardest part of the evening.

🦌Located in the beautiful main meadow of Pendarvis Farm, the Paddock is your evening Neighborhood! When the stars start to come out, this is where we’ll gather for mainstage performances with views of Mt. Hood in the distance.
We asked the team hard at work on this special Pickathon neighborhood about their concept for August 1-4, 2024. Here’s what they said…
Hoffman Construction Company in design collaboration with ZGF Architects, presents “Antlers & Sunset”, the backdrop for this year’s main stage in the Paddock Neighborhood. Here, louvered pillars come together to formulate a half-sun as it reflects the imprint of antlers –branched horns, a symbol of growth and renewal. It recalls our cycles and is a celebration and nod to the continuing seasons of the Pickathon Music Festival. The structure is composed of dimensional lumber all generously donated by Hampton Lumber.
The volunteer build team consists of members from Hoffman Construction, Precision Construction, Hoffman Specialty Contractors (HSC), Interior Exterior Specialists (IES) and Pickathon volunteers.

Orchard Neighborhood Sneak Peak
Pickathon design teams are hard at work right now planning out each of our Neighborhoods. Today, we have a nice sneak peek at The Orchard Neighborhood.
Check out the Orchard Neighborhood. We asked design collaborators, Aaron Maples, Taylor Shanley, Audrey Rycewicz , Betty Lou Poston, Reif Larsen, to tell us what’s in store for August 1-4, 2024. Here’s what they shared:
Every summer we are lured to the island of Pickathon. We can sometimes see it from afar, shimmering and glowing in the distant... inaccessible for a time. But now, your dreams start to take shape. In just a few weeks the farm will invite us all to shore.
This year the Orchard welcomes you and sets a mood for the entire weekend. From dreams to reality, a path inspires a transition from our daily lives to a place of a new breeze, scent, and dance. The Orchard is a place to find ourselves momentarily as well as a place to lounge and experience the moods once of dream. Welcome.
It’s lookin like Earlybird tickets will run out this week at some point…The price is the lowest it’ll be all year, get yours now!
