“Pickathon is the best...I’ve been taste testing festivals around the world...This is what they’re all trying to do” - Feist on the Wood Stage

“It’s like today is the last day of summer camp, you know?...We all want this moment to last forever.” — Sharon Van Etten

“I have never been this excited about attending a festival, let alone playing and I'm so ready to bust out my tin cup and climb up and down that unparalleled weekend.” - Shakey Graves

“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

“[Pickathon] is a personal favorite because it’s really intimate…They always have a great lineup and its in the woods. It’s a little more do-able for bands." - David Hartley, The War on Drugs

“I’ve got to say this is probably the best festival I’ve ever been to. I feel so relaxed, and everybody is so nice. Maybe I’m too relaxed, I don’t know.” - King Tuff on the Mountain View Stage

“You can do whatever you want, to try to dampen our moods...to try to pick away, chip away, erode the positive energy vibrations, the happiness we’ve absorbed over the past few days. Do what you will! It will not affect us…. We are in the bubble. Like John Travolta.” - Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy on the Mountain View Stage


“This might be the best air I have ever breathed.” - Bill Callahan on the Mountain View Stage

Step into Gravity Pool, this year’s immersive installation in the Galaxy Courtyard at Pickathon 2025. Designed by Blackbird Public Arts with lead designers Matthew Thomas and Christopher Cardoza, the space pays homage to Pickathon’s Steelhead mascot—blending anatomy and movement in a glowing, sculptural form that guides dancers through the night.

Built in collaboration with volunteers, the Guild of Oregon Woodworkers, and community partners, Gravity Pool is more than a dance floor—it’s a living work of art and mentorship.
