Every year, the team at Pickin’ on Picknic works to make a difference in not just our community, but the world we live in. We do this through consistent action, such as cleaning riverways, and through organizing our friends and family in events such as Pickin’ Up Mill Hill, held last year at this time.

Of course, this year we are unable to get a large group of our friends together to laugh, drink, bask a bit in the sunshine, and get to work together. But that doesn’t mean we can’t take part in community action this Earth Day.

Instead of hosting Pickin’ Up Mill Hill, Pickin’ on Music Festival is encouraging our community to take part in Pickin’ Up the Neighborhood. All this week, take a walk with the kids or the dogs and bring a trash bag with you! Pick up trash on your streets – you may even be helping out neighbors who are unable to get out at this time. While maintaining social distancing, we can still embrace the spirit of Earth Day and the ongoing mission of the Pickin’ On Community!

Take a picture or video of your efforts and share them on our Pickin’ Up the Neighborhood Facebook event using the hashtags #PickinUpTheNeighborhood and #EraseTheTrace

Then, join us on Facebook for a livestream concert of Pickin’ on Picknic artist including Leah Osborne of One Way Traffic, and Julian Davis at 7PM on Wednesday, April 22.
