Non-Shakespeare Fun in Ashland

Lithia Park is a beautiful attraction in Ashland. With a roaring creek running through it and lovely vegetation, it is a very relaxing place to hang out. You will invariably run into interesting characters around the park, musicians, jugglers, folks practicing fencing...

Festival actors hold talks in the park for free, and prior to most evening performances is the Green Show, a fantasic dance show. There are also fairly low cost attractions that are put on by OSF, like backstage tours and play previews.

The shopping opportunities are amazing. Their are several highly eclectic shops, specialty foods stores, bookstores, vintage clothing stores.

If I were an outdoorsy type, I'd ski at Mt. Ashland, or hike or raft. But I am not. So I haven't.
