More about Pendleton Whisky and its music festival

Pendleton Whisky is a branded whisky that is distilled in Canada before being imported to Hood River, Texas to be bottled. The brand was created in 2003 to honor the tradition and practices of the American Cowboy.

The music festival traces its origins to the annual Pendleton Roundup, an annual rodeo that has been held in Pendleton since 1910. The festival began out of a local desire to create a city park and celebrate the legacy of George H. Pendleton, a leading critic and opponent of the abolition of slavery.

The music festival was organized in 2016 by co-organizers Andy McAnally and Doug Corey and has over its history featured performances by artists such as Zach Brown, Maroon 5, Blake Shelton, and Post Malone, among others.
