The festival offers a more family-friendly vibe, including an entire schedule of events for kids, and food trucks that rival any food festival (or festival food) options.” - Time “This may be hard to believe, but it’s an annual festival whose 3500 attendees contribute almost nothing to area landfills.” - Billboard “Pickathon’s ethics work in conjunction with these stunning aesthetics. The Pendarvis family and organizers’ unparalleled commitment to sustainability distinguishes them from every other music festival in the world.” - Paste Pickathon Online: http://www.pickathon.com/ https://twitter.com/pickathon http://instagram.com/pickathon https://www.facebook.com/pickathon http://www.youtube.com/user/pickathon http://pitchperfectpr.com/pickathon-2015/ For more information, contact: Jacob Daneman | Pitch Perfect PR - [email protected], 773-271-6844 .
