Lithia Artisans Market presents the 12th annual Christmas Faire, held at the Historic Ashland Armory throughout Thanksgiving Weekend — November 23rd through November 25th. This event is held in conjunction with the Ashland Festival of Lights, and is considered by many to be the best holiday art, craft, and music event in Southern Oregon. 50 local artists and artisans will be displaying their handcrafted items for sale: pottery, jewelry, clothing, fine art, photography, cards, woven art, stone beads, glass beads, woodwork, and much, much more. This is a juried art show and the quality is exceptional.
The Armory will be filled with the sound of local, live, original music throughout the weekend (See the Music Schedule below). Food, coffee, and tea will be available by Moni of “Grilla Bites”.
This has been an exceptional season for entertainment at our summer market. The market stepped it up a notch by highlighting original music created by talented local musicians. The level of quality in all forms of art is at a very high level here in the Ashland area. We are honored to welcome many of those musicians to Christmas Faire. The ambiance is ever changing at this years event.
Dave Summers of Elf Mountain Leather, along with 50 local artisans, will be at the Lithia Artisans Christmas Faire this coming Thanksgiving Weekend, Nov. 23-25 at the Historic Ashland Armory, 208 Oak St. (corner of Oak and B).
Christmas Faire will be open Thanksgiving Weekend:
Friday, November 23 from 10am-7pm
Saturday, November 24 from 10am-6pm
Sunday, November 25 from 11am-4pm
Think global and act local! We do that with our purchasing dollars by buying gift items that are made with love and care by friends and neighbors. Artisans are at work right now creating beautiful gift items for this show. Remember that money spend locally at art and music festivals, mom and pop stores, farmers market, and local galleries is recycled throughout our regional economy thus lifting the boat for all who participate. The circle stays close and we all benefit. Support local, it matters!
The blend of art and craft and live music. It’s a beautiful thing. Kites and Crows playing Sunday, November 25 from 11am-1pm at Lithia Artisans Christmas Faire at the Historic Ashland Armory. Open all Thanksgiving Weekend long.
