We’re excited to officially announce that Pickin’ in the Park is coming back on April 17, 2027, at Gibbs Ruritan Park 🎶

After an incredible first year, we’ve spent time listening, planning, and making improvements to create an even better experience for everyone attending next year’s event.

For 2027, as you'll see on the maps, we’re updating the festival layout to help make the overall experience more accessible and enjoyable for families, guests, and our community.

Expect another great day filled with:
• Live music
• Local food vendors
• Family activities
• Community fun
• And even more exciting updates to come

If you’re already interested in becoming a vendor or sponsor for next year’s festival, we’d love to connect with you early. Reach out to us for more information and upcoming opportunities.

Mark your calendars now for April 17, 2027 — we can’t wait to see everyone back at the park for another unforgettable day of music and community.

Missed grabbing a Pickin’ in the Park t-shirt or sweatshirt on Saturday? We’ve got a limited number left, and once they’re gone, they’re gone.

If you’ve been thinking about it, now’s the time to grab one. It’s a great way to remember the day, support the cause, and rep the event all year long.

What a day ❤️

We’re still soaking in all the magic from this year’s festival — the music, the laughter, the community, and every single moment in between.

A huge THANK YOU to our incredible sponsors who made this possible, our talented performers who brought the energy and heart, and every person who showed up, supported, and celebrated with us. You are what makes this event so special.

We’re already dreaming about next year… and trust us, it’s going to be even better.

Until then, thank you for being part of it. 🎶✨

Wow…what a day. 💛

Thank you to everyone who came out to Pickin’ in the Park—whether you stayed all day or just stopped by for a set or two, it meant so much to see our community show up the way you did. The music, the laughter, the families, the dancing…it’s exactly why we do this.

We also want to acknowledge that we had some logistical hiccups this year, and we truly appreciate your patience and grace. As this event continues to grow, we’re learning what works—and what needs to be better.

We hear you, and we’re already working on making next year more convenient, more streamlined, and more consolidated so you can spend less time navigating and more time enjoying.

Thank you for being part of something special with us. We can’t wait to do it even better next year. 🎶

It’s the perfect weather for a great day! Come hear some music and eat some good food!
