In this episode of the Music Festivals Podcast, we get the inside scoop on the upcoming 2025 Pickin' on Picknick, a Bluegrass Festival celebrating it's 10th year of production and held annually in St. Clair, Missouri at Lost Hill Lake.
I had the chance to sit down with festival producer and promoter, Ryan Kemp, for an exclusive preview of this long-standing Missouri bluegrass festival. We dive into the festival’s origins and history, the incredible growth over the last decade, and all the little details that make this event so special—from shady walnut groves and lakeside activities to a stacked lineup featuring legends like Del McCoury and the Larry Keel Experience.
We also talk about the festival’s mission to support mental health through the Sweet Relief Musicians Fund, plus what you and your family can expect in terms of camping, activities, and friendly vibes on site. Don’t miss out on everything you need to know before heading to Lost Hill Lake. And, make sure to check out ticket info, music festival ticket package giveaways, and more featured in this week's episode.
