In Ashland, every season has its charms. From February to October the Oregon Shakespeare Festival performs a series of Shakespearean and modern plays. In addition to the Festival, Ashland's small-town flavor is evident in our yearly celebrations.

Summer
Ashland's Old Fashioned Forth of July celebration has drawn crowds for over 100 years. Stretch out on your blanket to watch the floats during the morning parade, then join friends and family in Lithia Park for a lunchtime feast.

Fall
Ashland is not shy about Halloween. Join the children's parade down Main Street, as people of all ages display their costumes. Come out at night for the ultimate in Fall revelry!

Winter
A million tiny white lights grace downtown when thousands flock to the Plaza for our yearly Festival of Light celebration. Santa's parade, candlelight home tours, strolling carolers, enticing shops all add to the magic of the holidays from Thanksgiving to New Year's Eve.

As the springtime buds appear so do festivals such as the Taste of Ashland which celebrates artwork, vineyards and restaurants at local galleries. In April view films at the Ashland Independent Film Festival which hosts over 60 independent films. Visit the Grower's Market for a delightful abundance fresh local produce.
