Each summer, the 6 farms of the Southern Oregon Lavender Trail open their gates for two memorable weekends celebrating lavender in all its forms!

During the festivals you will find lavender plants, hand-crafted lavender goods, and u-pick lavender at most of the destinations. You can also expect to find extra events and activities at many of the locations, including food and beverage vendors, wine, cider, live music, kid-friendly activities, lavender-related demonstrations and classes, other vendor booths, and more!

Each farm offers its own welcoming experience, with thoughtfully planned activities, so be sure to visit them all! Find a convenient map on our website to help you plan your trip.

These festivals have become a beloved part of Southern Oregon’s seasonal rhythm. We invite you to slow down, explore at your own pace, and enjoy the simple beauty of lavender in bloom—an experience meant to be savored and remembered.
