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.

Overview
Catch Rosa Lees and Jimmy Fretwell live for a fun, soulful night with Ashland Folk Collective!

Rosa Lees with guest Jimmy Fretwell

Hailing from Southern Oregon, The Rosa Lees channel the spirit of female bluegrass pioneers like Hazel Dickens, Alice Gerrard, and Rose Maddox while forging a vibrant sound of their own. Known for rich vocal harmonies, driving rhythms, and thoughtful songwriting, the band blends traditional bluegrass with touches of old time, country, and gospel. Rising quickly in the Northwest scene, they have appeared at venues and festivals including Britt Festival, the Columbia Gorge Bluegrass Festival, Oregon Shakespeare Festival, and Big Ponderoo. The Rosa Lees are Rachel Buklad on banjo, Jessie Monter on fiddle, Holly Hurley on bass, and Bekkah McAlvage on guitar.

Jimmy Fretwell (formerly Jef Fretwell) is a alt country and Americana songwriter whose music feels both timeless and lived-in. With warm vocals and unhurried storytelling, his songs capture the many moments of the open road, small towns, and shared nights with friends.
