Happy Father's Day to all the dads, grandpas, stepdads, father figures, and rock-solid role models out there!

Today we celebrate the men who taught us how to ride a bike, throw a ball, work hard, keep our word, and maybe turn the volume up just a little louder than Mom thought was necessary.

Whether you're spending the day firing up the grill, hanging out with family, taking a cruise in your classic car, or just enjoying some well-earned relaxation, we hope it's a great one.

At Picktown Palooza, we're proud to celebrate the moments that bring families together. From our Freedom 5K and Car, Truck & Bike Show to three days of live music, food, friends, and unforgettable memories, we're honored to be part of traditions that dads and families share year after year.

Here's to the dads who taught us how to rock, how to laugh, and how to live.

Happy Father's Day from all of us at Picktown Palooza!

BUCKET LIST ROCK SHOW ALERT!

Just heard on Hair Nation... "Scared" by Dangerous Toys.

In just a few weeks, you'll have the chance to hear it LIVE at Picktown Palooza's 10th Anniversary Celebration!

Here's the thing... bands like Dangerous Toys Texas don't exactly roll through Central Ohio every weekend. In fact, opportunities to see them anywhere near here are few and far between.

If you've ever said, "I'd love to see Dangerous TOYS someday," this is your chance to cross them off the bucket list.

FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 10 YEARS. AND THE ONLY TIME EVER.

For nearly a decade, one of the most requested items at Picktown Palooza has been our official event shirt.

Fans have asked for it.

Artists have asked for it.

And for years, people have asked if there was any way to own an official Picktown Palooza shirt.

Traditionally, our volunteers receive an exclusive volunteer shirt as a thank-you for helping make Picktown Palooza possible, and that remains true today.

The shirt shown here is not the 2026 volunteer shirt. Instead, it is a special commemorative design created exclusively for our 10th Anniversary.

For the first and only time, this commemorative shirt will be available to the public.

This design celebrates the first 10 years of Picktown Palooza and features every national artist who has helped shape our story. From Soul Asylum, Cracker, and Night Ranger to L.A. Guns, BulletBoys, Buckcherry, and Vinnie Appice's Sabbath Knights, this shirt honors the bands, fans, volunteers, sponsors, and community that helped build Picktown Palooza into The Event of the Summer.

This is not just a t-shirt.

It's a piece of Picktown Palooza history.

Once this anniversary run is gone, it will never be produced again.

Some of you have been coming since 2017.

Some of you were there when we lost half the festival to a flood and somehow still found a way to finish the weekend.

Some of you met friends here.

Some of you met your spouse here.

Some of you come every year because it's become a tradition.

And some of you are about to experience Picktown Palooza for the very first time.

In just a few weeks, Opportunity Way will once again be filled with thousands of people, live music, cold drinks, great food, and the kind of memories that only happen when a community comes together.

For three days, work can wait.

The yard can wait.

The emails can wait.

It's time to grab your crew, claim your spot, and be part of the 10th Anniversary of the Event of the Summer.
