In August 2021, the arts and music festival Golphstok 2021 was held in Pierson. The festival was started in the summer of 2017 as a way for the founder to play music with his two sons. The first GolfStock was organized as a way to raise funds for Pierson's golf course, but the potential was realized for GolphStok to really grow into an annual tradition for Pierson. Golphstock was originally named Golfstock as a play on words of [[Woodstock]], but the name changed when it was not for a golf course fundraiser.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://siouxcityjournal.com/weekender/music/festival-brings-arts-and-music-to-pierson-iowa/article_f877fcbe-0284-5a4b-9ef2-0c0b882a8341.html |title=Festival brings arts and music to Pierson, Iowa |last=Horlyk |first=Earl |date=August 19, 2021 |website=Sioux City Journal |access-date=September 12, 2021 |archive-date=September 12, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210912164922/https://siouxcityjournal.com/weekender/music/festival-brings-arts-and-music-to-pierson-iowa/article_f877fcbe-0284-5a4b-9ef2-0c0b882a8341.html |url-status=live }}</ref>
