The Pickerington Police Department would like to remind residents that the annual Picktown Palooza returns Thursday, July 9, through Saturday, July 11. We look forward to another outstanding community event featuring live entertainment, great food, and a fun atmosphere for those attending.

Please Note: The Picktown Palooza is an 18-and-over event. Anyone under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian at all times in accordance with the event's admission policy.
To accommodate the festival, Opportunity Way will be closed to through traffic between Lockville Road and the Pickerington Public Library (201 Opportunity Way) throughout the event.
The Pickerington Public Library and Pickerington Central High School will remain open during the festival. Visitors to either location should access the area from Hill Road South via Opportunity Way, as access from Lockville Road will be unavailable.
Motorists should expect heavier-than-normal traffic in the area, especially during the evening hours. To help reduce congestion and avoid delays, drivers are encouraged to plan ahead and use West Columbus Street or Busey Road as alternate east-west routes whenever possible.
The Pickerington Police Department appreciates your patience and cooperation as we work with event organizers to provide a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone attending. Whether you're visiting for the food, entertainment, or spending time with friends, we hope you have a safe and enjoyable time at Picktown Palooza.
