Pickathon 2026

I’ll be performing at Pickthon this year!

Pickathon is a 4 day long music festival, running this year from July 30-August2 along with some additional going-ons. It happens at Pendarvis Farms in Happy Valley, Oregon, generally about 20-30 minutes outside of Portland. Attendees will often camp there on the grounds  for the weekend, it’s an immersive music fest. The founders and organizers have continually sought to make the fest different than many other music festivals––in the variety of curation, sustainability practices in keeping attendance manageable, food affordable, and creating an all around special and pretty chill experience, even with 60 musical acts and 8000 attendees.

There are three literary stages going on: Poetry/Spoken, Authors Readings, and Storytelling. This year Poetry will be held on Sunday, August 2nd at the Windmill Stage at 11am. Hosted and curated by Anis Mojgani, this year’s poet crew includes Mindy Nettifee (me), Beth Piatote, and Marissa Yang Bertucci. You can read up on the lineup here, learn all about the festival, and get your tickets!
