Walks last 90 minutes, are FREE of charge, and are open to locals and visitors alike. Please meet your guide at the front entrance of Lithia Park across from the Plaza.

This program has been running since 1989, and is a fantastic way to immerse yourself in Ashland’s crown jewel.

Get a taste of the "old West" and Jacksonville's gold mining days when you step behind the counter of the oldest financial institution in the Pacific Northwest. The 1863 Beekman Bank Museum, located at 110 W. California Street in Jacksonville, saw over $40 million in gold cross its counters during the town’s heyday in the late 1800s—the equivalent of over $1.5 billion today. Interact with costumed docents sharing stories of late 19th Century banking practices, gold shipping, and handshake deals; step behind the counter and peer in drawers containing old checks, stage schedules, and paperwork; enter the vault that stored all those millions in gold!
Admission is FREE but donations are encouraged with all monies going towards the preservation and maintenance of this historic legacy!

Join us on Sunday July 19th at 2pm as we partner with The Oregon Coast Music Association to bring in this musical experience! This is a TICKETED EVENT. Purchase tickets at our online store.
This show will be offsite at the Oregon Institute of Marine Biology's boathouse lecture hall. A beautiful venue with stunning views of the channel entrance to Coos Bay. Beer and wine will be available for purchase at the event, as well as some onsite food offerings. This show is part of the Oregon Coast Music Association's annual Music Festival, and we are proud to be partnering once again to bring world class music to our coastal community.
Horse Feathers is an indie-folk band based in Astoria, OR that has been bringing lush arrangements for 20 years. Fronted by Justin Ringle, the band has gone through several transformations during that time, and has developed a truly unique sound born from the Pacific Northwest. With six full-length albums, they have toured the nation and abroad, drawing attention with notable appearances starting early on NPR's Tiny Desk (2009), and KEXP's live (2018) performance series. With an extensive touring history, Horse Feathers has been found and loved by so many, including us here at 7 Devils. Members of the band include Justin Ringle, longtime band member and violinist Nathan Crockett, Luke Ydstie (bass) and Kati Claborn (banjo) of The Hackles and Blind Pilot, along with Halli Anderson (violin and percussion) of River Whyless.

Taylor Clark is credited with being the first stand-up comic to have ever broken through in comedy via skateboarding.

After Thrasher and Low card Magazine covered him in their magazines, Gary Vaynerchuck’s 137p.m did an extensive interview with him as well. All of this transpired when Taylor dropped his self-produced debut album “Addictive Tickle”

Some of the jokes he released on that album are now considered groundbreaking comedy routines on skateboarding because he was the first comic to perform jokes that communicated the subculture and lifestyle of a skater to a general audience, accurately, and they got it.

Since then, Taylor has been touring the country performing in clubs and theaters, but also in skate shops and at skate contests.

He recently released his comedy special “Dad’s Hero” and is launching his next tour spring of 2026.

When he isn’t on tour Taylor can be found teaching comedy classes and directing talent for the Seattle International Comedy Competition (S.I.C.C) He has now taught over 200 comics, and in in his third year as talent director for S.I.C.C.

His two sons and hot Brazilian wife live with him reluctantly in Everett Washington.

The second concert of the Summer Music Festival begins with Tom Stone, Eric Filner, and Sophie Shao performing "String Trio No. 1 in E flat Major, Op. 3" by Ludwig van Beethoven and ends with Filner, Shao, and the Balourdet Quartet playing the romantic "String Sextet No. 1 in B flat Major, Op. 18" by Johannes Brahms. Between these traditional chamber works, the Balourdet Quartet will share a performance of "Galaxy Back to You" by the Korean American composer Nicky Sohn, who composed the work expressly for the Balourdet.

Is your child going to be age 5 by September 1st? Then it is time to enroll for Kindergarten. Ashland School District enrollment is now open for the 2026-2027 school year.
