Pickathon is an annual, three-day music festival taking place the first weekend of August at Pendarvis Farm in Happy Valley, Oregon. Founded in 1999, the festival initially grew out of Portland's bluegrass and Americana music scene. Since then it now includes indie rock, hip-hop, folk, jazz, and rhythm and blues genres.
The festival offers programming for all ages. The event has been noted for its sustainability practices: it has eliminated all plastic and single-use food and beverage containers.
