31 years of magical moments
For 31 years the Festival of Light has been a shining backdrop to Ashland's many magical winter events including the Grand Illumination, Santa’s arrival and seasonally inspired performing arts productions. Adorning the Plaza, East Main Street, Lithia Way, Siskiyou Boulevard, Ashland Street and surrounding shops with a winter glow, the Festival of Light attracts locals and visitors from November to New Years. Join us downtown at 5pm on November 24th.
Live out your daydreams by night
The diversity of attendees is reflected in the businesses who choose to share their collective light and support the festival. Join us in filling Ashland with another three decades of winter cheer at whatever level matches the needs of your organization.
