For over a decade, Pittonkatonk May Day Global Music Fest has been a celebration of music, activism, and community spirit—and we need your help to keep the tradition alive!

This May, over 8,000 attendees will gather at Schenley Park’s Vietnam Veterans Pavilion for the 12th Annual Pittonkatonk, featuring:

  • World-renowned performers including mobile brass bands, Afrobeat, Cumbia, Samba, and more!!!
  • Pittonkatonk is a community-driven collaboration with organizations advocating for social and environmental justice
  • Family-friendly performances
  • Local food and drinks from local vendors

And the best part? It’s free and open to everyone! But making this magic happen comes with rising costs.





Where Your Support Goes:
  • Staging, Lighting & Sound: Bringing the music to life with professional-quality equipment
  • Logistics & Infrastructure: Trash removal, porta-potties, and power to keep things running smoothly
  • Safety & Security: Ensuring a safe and welcoming environment for all
  • Hospitality for Artists: Lodging, meals, and transportation for incredible musicians traveling from around the world
  • Hospitality for Guests: Keeping the festival inclusive, accessible, and memorable for everyone



Why Your Support Matters:
Pittonkatonk thrives on the spirit of community collaboration and generosity. With your help, we can continue creating a space that amplifies diverse voices, fosters connections, and inspires collective action. Every dollar you contribute helps us sustain this one-of-a-kind festival while keeping it accessible to all.
