Pickin’ in the Pines is an award-winning bluegrass & acoustic music festival first held in 2006. It was founded by FFOTM members in the beautiful mountain town of 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, 2019 & 2021 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 locally from Flagstaff, regionally from all around the Southwest, nationally and beyond. Camping and jamming are also a big part of the Pickin’ in the Pines experience. Please visit our Camping page for more information.
