We acknowledge and honor the aboriginal people on whose ancestral homelands we work—the Ikirakutsum Band of the Shasta Nation, as well as the diverse and vibrant Native communities who make their home here today. We honor the first stewards in the Rogue Valley and the lands we love and depend on: Tribes with ancestral lands in and surrounding the geography of the Ashland Watershed include the original past, present and future indigenous inhabitants of the Shasta, Takelma, and Athabaskan people.  We also recognize and acknowledge the Shasta village of K’wakhakha – “Where the Crow Lights” – that is now the Ashland City Plaza.***Agendas and minutes for City of Ashland Council, Commission and Committee meetings may be found at the City website, ashland.or.us/Agendas.asp

The Bear Creek Salmon Festival is returning with plenty to learn, see and experience at Ashland’s North Mountain Park Nature Center on Saturday, Oct. 12. Now in its 17th year, the festival celebrates the seasonal cycle of Pacific northwest salmon species, environmental stewardship and community.
An exuberant crowd of an estimated 1,000 people lined Ashland's Main Street Saturday morning, cheering and applauding the 14th annual Southern Oregon Pride Parade. The street was filled with color and motion as participants pranced, danced and sang, recapturing the energy of Pride Parades of the past. 
Ron Rusnak: Lithia Park is not a sports center. Lithia Park is Ashland’s heart, known for nature, culture, education, art and, at times, patriotic enthusiasm.
The 53rd annual Talent Harvest Festival was held Saturday downtown under perfectly sunny autumn skies. Thousands turned out for the event, which kicked off with the Talent Harvest Festival 5K, 10K and Fun runs, and included a morning pet parade.
