Lithia Park

Lithia Park is lovely anytime of year.   In the summer children laugh and wade in the gentle waters of Ashland Creek.  In the winter the white frosted trees arch like dancers dipping their branches accross a snowy floor.  Spring brings ducklings eagerly flitting behind a mother who leads with sure composure. 

When you're finished playing the observer, take a turn on the tennis courts, swim in the reservoir, or listen to live music at the bandshell.

Deux Chats

This little shop on A Street is like a boutique bakery.  Their breads and viennoiserie are gorgeous.  If you need a pairing for your morning coffee, or if you are just wanting something genuinely delicious, stop by Deux Chat.  The name Deux Chat means "two cats", and is pronounced (press the "play" arrows):

Here's the caveat, they're open Friday and Saturday

Festival of Light

Long winter nights may be darker elsewhere, but not in Ashland.  White lights cheer the Plaza and Main Street each year.  The Festival of Light begins the day after Thanksgiving with a parade, live entertainment and a visit from Santa.  It has the community camaraderie of a small town event, but it shines with Ashland's graceful artistic aesthetic.  What a wonderful way to celebrate the coming holiday season!

For this year's schedule, visit the Ashland Chamber of Commerce's events calendar HERE.
