The main event for regional Artisans is, of course, the Lithia Artisans Market. Weekends, May thru October, hours are 10 to 6 Saturdays and 11 to 5 on Sundays. Every weekend offers a different mix of crafts, with Traveling Vendors lending spice to an already rich fare. Live music is featured twice daily, in the morning and afternoon. In this picture (right) we are looking south toward the top of the Market. Lithia Park is just beyond view.

The year 2001 was our first Christmas Fair at the Historic Ashland Armory. We hope to make a tradition of this Thanksgiving weekend, Holiday Gathering. The Festival is a benefit for both the Grove (an Ashland teen center); and a home for girls in our sister city, Guanajuato, Mexico. This benefit is done with help from our brother corporation, the Lithia Arts Guild.
