✨ Pickathon through fading frames ✨

For our 25th anniversary, we teamed up with Portland photographer Kelsey Jean, who captured the weekend on expired Polaroid + 35mm film — chasing the small, fleeting details that make Pickathon feel like home.

From handwritten setlists to sunsets through our installations, these images hold the festival’s everyday magic. You might even spot yourself in a shot 👀 — photos available to view + download (& tag ) at pickathon.com on the blog (🔗 https://pickathon.com/2025/08/a-festival-through-fading-frames-pickathons-25th-anniversary-on-expired-polaroid-film/)

Pickathon made The Portland Mercury’s weekly roundup—and it’s being called “magical, immersive, and so, so sweet.”

With headliners like Portugal. The Man and Haley Heynderickx, plus local gems like Jenny Don’t and the Spurs, Dougie Poole, and J.R.C.G., this year’s lineup hits that perfect Portland note. Every artist plays twice, so you won’t have to miss a thing.

The Mercury () also reminds us: art, food, and good vibes abound—and biking to the fest is a pro move.
