Fun Pick Weekend: Pure Fellowship and Picking

Fun Pick Weekend is one of the most loved recurring events at Salmon Lake Park.

Hosted by the Bay Area Bluegrass Association, Fun Pick Weekend brings musicians together for non-stop jamming circles, shared songs, and easy fellowship. There’s no formal stage schedule driving the weekend. Instead, music pops up naturally across the grounds, with picking sessions that welcome players of all experience levels.

What keeps people coming back is the spirit of it all. It’s relaxed, welcoming, and rooted in community rather than performance.

Crafting Class: A Creative Winter Retreat

February also brings a very different, but equally meaningful gathering.

The Crafting Class weekend is hosted by Blessings With A Bow and offers two and a half days of hands-on crafting, fellowship, and shared meals. It’s a weekend built for creativity and connection, where friends gather around tables instead of stages.

This event is especially popular with ladies’ groups and friends looking for a winter retreat that feels productive and joyful without being rushed.

Registration and pricing are handled directly through the host. Contact Bobbie at 713-409-0966 for registration forms and details.

Why February Works So Well for These Events

February gives events room to breathe. Without peak-season crowds, guests can focus on what they came for, whether that’s music, creativity, or time together.

Cabins feel cozy without feeling closed in. RV sites offer space and quiet. The park itself becomes a backdrop rather than a distraction.


A Month Built on Community

What ties February together at Salmon Lake Park is community. Bluegrass musicians sharing songs. Crafters sharing tables and ideas. Friends gathering without an agenda beyond being together.

That’s what makes these weekends feel memorable long after they’re over.
