Portland-area farm music fest Pickathon could have lost some of its magic this year. There were more tickets on offer, which meant a potential for larger crowds. The days were hot and dustyâeven if they weren't as scorching as previous summers. And anytime you left Pendarvis Farm, you needed to wind through a suburban subdivision, envious of the development's outdoor pool. (Could Pickathon have a splash pad?

Beloved Portland-area farmbound music festival Pickathon returns this weekend for four days and nights of good times, live music, and blissed-out evenings under the stars. 2024 marks the third year since the fest's two-year pandemic hiatus and the 25th year that it's been in operation. Now past a nail-biting permit renewal this springâit passed!âthis yearâs fest looks to be bigger and better than ever.

Let the stars in the sky be your guide to the screen. Our picks for Converge 45 and other Portland gallery shows you must not miss this fall. Stepping in for the Time-Based Art festival, Time-Released promises chaotic good performance art in bursts. We asked associate conductor Deanna Tham to unpack the Oregon Symphony’s take on the greatest modern film composer. Not a lot, but in Mitchell S. Jackson’s new book, Fly, it sure is fun to look at.

It felt like a lot was riding on this year's Pickathon. In 2022, its first year back after the pandemic, we saw some of the farm fest's returning pains. We also jumped around to GZA with the Phunky Nomads and decided Pickathon could still bring the magic. This year, the interim work was obvious. Neighborhood layouts felt shadier and better spaced. The fest added an offsite parking lot and created a whimsical trail to it through the forest.

Stepping back onto Pendarvis Farm for the return of Pickathon last year—after two years without—felt like a return to happiness. We went bright-eyed about the line-up, the landscape, and the lunch options—not to mention memories of idyllic, mysteriously-appearing communal hammocks, streetwise busking children, and the festival's new wellness expansion. It did not disappoint. The first year back was not without its hiccups, though much of them seemed beyond the organizers' control.
