Following in the footsteps of the highly acclaimed and much loved Balloonfest & Whifflefest events, the APA is joining their ranks in 2026, by providing the third of three consecutive weekend festival-like extravaganzas, in this especially patriotic year. With B͟a͟l͟l͟o͟o͟n͟f͟e͟s͟t being held the last weekend in June, and W͟h͟i͟f͟f͟l͟e͟f͟e͟s͟t the first weekend in July, 𝐏𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐥𝐞𝐟𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔 will fall into place the second weekend in July. This first ever local 2-day PB event of its kind aims to be a celebration that brings together players and spectators from the surrounding area for a fun, high-energy weekend of play, while raising funds to help support Ashland area Pickleball. Proceeds will help support venue upkeep and improvements, expanded programming, and increased access to Pickleball in our community. So, whether you’re a play-for-fun or play-to-win player, or a curious what’s-the-game-all-about spectator, this July 10th & 11th event should provide something for everyone to enjoy! 𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝟏 𝐌𝐢𝐱𝐞𝐫 (Friday, July 10) is the fun mix and match event for players that love to compete, (and don’t mind winning!), but would rather play multiple games with multiple different playing partners, all for fun. You can keep track of your own record if you like, but there won’t be any official stats kept.
