One member of the family participated in the parade so only 4 of us in camp chairs watching along the route. It was a bit chilly but about in the middle for weather experiences over the years. Cool early but sunny and warmer as the day wore on. We had hosts that we were staying with and drove us there and set up the camp chairs the use regularly as there are many places with good camping in the hills and mountains between the city and Crater lake. The scenic Rogue River runs through this valley too. Many of the local schools send out their bands, the large commercial enterprises like Harry and David, famous for their pears and gift packs who were founded here. City civic groups and various clubs participated. The city officials ride in classic cars supplied by one club. There were groups of dancers and horse rhythm groups to as agriculture is a major employer too. Everything from nursing school from a local college to to kids in scouting and 4H participated. Most groups tossed out simple candy packages in small sizes as you find at Halloween. The nursing school handed out mini hand sanitizers and Garry and David did make sizes of their genuine higher end candies like individually wrapped chocolate truffles. I came home with the sanitizer and the Harry & David and the group of us donated all the other stuff to a group of elementary age children standing nearby. They had quite a collection for bags they had brought batches told us that this event was better than Halloween. I am posting as many clips and photos as Yelp will allow me to give you the flavor of this annual Medford event. If you visit the area this time of year to see the pear orchards blooming, do take in the run and the parade. It's really hometown fun for all.

They have yeast to put on top, add extra butter if you want....it was AMAZING!!! Was amazing, the last two times I've been to this theater the popcorn is just plain bad. Hard kernels with no real flavor. It's such a bummer, something has changed and I don't like it. Can someone please switch back to the other popcorn brand, or flavoring? It's just not fun to go to the movies when the popcorn tastes day old. Help, bring back the OG popcorn.

I simply could not recommend this festival experience enough…read more I used to live in Ashland and this event is the thing still that prompts me to go back and visit every year. It's such a unique film festival experience and its such a great town. The films are incredibly well curated, the people involved are uncommonly kind and fun, the town is adorable, supportive and WALKABLE, and the festival is the perfect size to make it feel like you've all gone to film camp for 5 days. And you don't have to be a film geek to have a ball! My 28 year old sister and my 55 year old mother both had a great time and neither are students of film, but both enjoyed the temporary 5-day community that they got to feel a part of. Did I mention WALKABLE? No shuttles or buses to catch. Kinda unheard of when it comes to most festivals. For the full experience, I would recommend: 1) Go see some shorts! Its so rare you get to see shorts in a theater, I highly recommend taking advantage the opportunity. And there are some incredible story tellers that show their work there. 2) Go out to the designated after hours spot at least one of the nights. Tons of folks gather there, including filmmakers, volunteers, staff and film-goers. The conversations there are rich, passionate, inspiring and authentic. 3) Take advantage of the "Talks". There are some great panels that are fantastic opportunities to learn and hear about independent filmmaking. Always a highlight of the festival. 4) See a film at the Armory. There's great food there and it's actually kind of a cool place to see a film. 5) See a film in one of the really small theaters~ there aren't many places you can go to a theater that is that small.

I learned about the Oregon Shakespeare festival in Ashland, OR by chance. Because my wife is a…read morehuge, huge fan of MacBeth...I moved heaven and earth to attend the last weekends presentation of MacBeth. We literally drove 1000 miles, round trip, to see the performance. It was amazing ! They added their own flourishes and inspiration to bring to life the tragedy unlike we've (my wife and I) ever seen on stage. It was complete! I only say this because some stage renditions minimize the witches...not so in this professional world class production! In addition to every word in the play...there was an amazing use of lights, sound effects, and in some instances dance. Did I mention, the acting was amazing!? World class!! As I mentioned, I learned about the festival very late in the season which starts mid-late spring every year. There were other Shakespeare plays being brought to life...in a theater that looked like the Globe...there were monologues in an outdoor area in front of the two theaters...there was a lot going on and a lot we missed because of how unprepared our visit was. Our goals was to see MacBeth which we accomplished but we missed a lot! In my opinion, it's best to plan a visit as a 4 day weekend. One of my motivations for attending this year is that MacBeth isn't produced every year, according to my friend to told me about the festival in the first place...all of Shakespeares work is explored here and on rotation...for example my favorite, Hamlet hasn't been produced in over 10yrs according to the lovely folks at the official souvenir shop of the festival...Romeo and Juliet not since 2018....they told us not to expect a MacBeth production for at least 8yrs! If you're on the west coast and you love Shakespeare and want to see works other than the tragedies on stage...I doubt you'll find a better organization/venue/location that wholeheartedly embraces Shakespeare than the town of Ashland and the the University of Southern Oregon! On last note, everyone from the ushers to those at the refreshment stand in our theater were nothing but lovely. I could say that about everyone in town as well. Just a great experience !
