Pepsi Amphitheater
Pickin’ in the Pines is an award-winning concert first held in 2006 and founded by Flagstaff Friends of Traditional Music (FFOTM) members in Flagstaff, Arizona. The festival honors the interests of the diverse membership of FFOTM, featuring the best traditional and contemporary bluegrass music, complemented by other styles of acoustic music and dance. Pickin’ in the Pines was voted “Best Festival” in 2017 & 2018 by readers of the Arizona Daily Sun.
Although bluegrass music is a primary focus of our festival, we also feature other forms of acoustic music such as old-time music, Celtic, gypsy jazz and more. To see this year’s stellar roster of talent visit our Lineup page. The festival also features educational workshops and a band contest, all in a family-friendly setting. Our beloved attendees and talent come from Flagstaff, all around the Southwest and beyond. pickininthepines.org
