What makes Pickathon so special?
The event is held at the Pendarvis Farm, which is spread across 80 acres of land. What makes this festival unique is the fact that it is organized in a way that makes it sustainable for the summer season. This is the reason why it has also been ranked as the greenest music festival in the country.
Another great thing about the festival is that there are plenty of camping options in the farm. So staying during these three-days is going to be full of fun, music and energy!
Most important of all, there are plenty of eco-friendly transport options available here during the event. This makes it safe for the environment and the surroundings.
All these reasons, together with the fact that it has played host to some of the hottest names in the Indie Rock Music Scene, made Pickathon the first large outdoor music festival in the entire country that eliminated single-use utensils like cups and plates in the year 2011. And, they have been coming up with new ways and increased efforts to make the festival cleaner and greener, year after year.
