Things To Do
Lithia Park
This is a lovely place to walk, picnic, play and explore. It leads to hiking trails above, has ponds and a Japanese garden, and a creek that you can walk along or hop in. Great for kids and adults alike! It's also right in the little downtown area, so you can grab food before or after. And Sunday mornings + afternoons there is a craft market along the river. This is one of our favorite ways to spend a weekend afternoon.
Oregon Shakespeare Festival
The theatre season is in full swing and there are three shows playing the weekend of the 4th!
ScienceWorks Hands-on Museum
A great interactive museum for kids of all ages! Perfect for an afternoon of exploration and play. (We've taken kiddos there on numerous occasions!)
Grizzly Peak Winery
A lovely winery with outdoor seating and a great selection of Oregon wines! They often have weekend events as well -- music, comedy + plays.
Oregon Cabaret Theatre
Always a fun time for theatre and musicals -- cabaret style set-up so you can have drinks and desserts during the show.
Bar Juillet
This is hands down our favorite restaurant in Ashland! You can usually find us there once a week for a seasonal menu, great cocktails (and mocktails, for when you're, you know, pregnant) and lovely vibes. Indoor and outdoor seating!
Hither
A great place for brunch -- also run by the amazing owners of Bar Juillet, Corey + Wes! Seasonal, small menu with delicious goodies.
Clyde's Corner
Delicious sourdough pizza (GF + vegan options) with outdoor fires and lots of drinks. It's perfect for an outdoor hang or cocktail -- and you can actually get there by taking the Greenway trail to Phoenix, a few towns over. (It's a long walk or a medium bike ride)
