About Pickin’ in the Pines

First held in 2006, Pickin’ in the Pines is a world-class bluegrass and acoustic music festival showcasing the best traditional and contemporary bluegrass music, complemented by other styles of acoustic music, including old-time, Celtic, and gypsy jazz. A renowned band contest, jam sessions, kid’s activities, as well as Friday and Saturday night community dances round out the weekend, all in a family-friendly setting.

In addition to four glorious star-studded nights of camping and jamming in the tall pines, the festival features free workshops in various instrument techniques and band development, including guitar, banjo, fiddle, ukulele, and harmony singing. Camping is also a big part of the Pickin’ in the Pines experience. Visit pickininthepines.org for more details.

Pickin’ in the Pines in Flagstaff, AZ was awarded Outstanding Arts Event at the 2010 Viola Awards hosted by the Flagstaff Arts Council, chosen from a tough field of events nominated by Flagstaff residents. We were honored to be selected for this award by a jury of arts participants and professionals! In 2017, Pickin' in the Pines was voted Best Annual Event or Festival by readers of the Arizona Daily Sun.
