🤘 YOU ASKED. ONE LAST CHANCE. 🤘

We originally offered our Picktown Palooza Heritage Shirt for a limited time leading up to our 10th Anniversary celebration, with the remaining shirts available at the event.

Since then, we've continued to hear from people who missed out and have asked if there's any way to still get one.

So... we're opening it up ONE LAST TIME.

The Picktown Palooza 10th Anniversary Heritage Shirt.

Ten years. An incredible list of national artists. Thousands of memories. All captured on one commemorative shirt created specifically to celebrate our 10th Anniversary.

And we want to be very clear about one thing:

This design will NEVER be produced again.

Once this final opportunity ends, the 10th Anniversary Heritage Shirt becomes exactly what it was intended to be... a piece of Picktown Palooza history owned only by those who got one.

If you were there this year, it's a pretty awesome way to remember an unforgettable weekend.

If you've rocked with us over the years, check out the back and see how many of those bands you were there to experience.

And if you missed your chance the first time around...

🤘 This is it.

Grab yours here before they're gone for good:

10 YEARS. ONE HERITAGE SHIRT. NEVER AGAIN.

Good Sunday morning friends. We have had people asking if we had any footage of Brian Vollmer from Helix The Band singing the National Anthem during community ceremonies. Here it is. Thank you again Brian for being so gracious in singing it. Excellent job!

🤘 ONE LAST CHANCE. 🤘

The stages have gone quiet.

The lights have come down.

The memories of our 10th Anniversary will last a lifetime.

Because so many of you reached out asking if there was still a way to order one, we've decided to reopen online ordering for our commemorative Picktown Palooza Heritage Shirt through July 24.

This is your last opportunity to own a piece of Picktown Palooza history.

Featuring every national artist who has helped shape the first 10 years of Picktown Palooza, this commemorative design celebrates an unforgettable journey made possible by our fans, volunteers, sponsors, musicians, and community.

Online ordering is open through July 24.
This design will never be produced again.
Once ordering closes, that's it.

If you were at our 10th Anniversary celebration, this is the perfect way to remember it.

If you've been with us from the beginning, this shirt celebrates every year of the journey.

And if Picktown Palooza has ever meant something to you, we'd be honored for you to own this piece of our history.

❤️ Thank you for making the last 10 years unforgettable.

Order yours before it's gone forever: https://logoimages.us/2026picktownpalooza/

Anybody at tonight's AC/DC concert in Columbus? Parking $30-50, 16oz b**rs $18. Seats $165. Two bands. Yes, we understand it's AC/DC.

But... 10 bands, $50 or $20 if just one day for 3 or 4. FREE parking. 16oz b**rs & Seltzers $5. Just shows how egregious the profit is at these shows lately. But I'm here so...

Just sharing again how we have tried very hard to keep costs in check even when ALL our expenses have gone way up! Have a great night everyone!
