The Lithia Artisans Market is excited to announce the return of our indoor holiday art and craft fairs to Ashland and Medford! We have been waiting 2 long years and we could not be more pleased to bring our crafts to the people for the holidays, offering the best handmade works in Southern Oregon.
After a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic, the Lithia Artisans are gearing up for two wonderful indoor art and craft shows featuring unique gift items crafted right here in southern Oregon. Locally crafted jewelry, pottery, clothing, fine art, photography, leatherwork, woodwork, weaving, hats, and much more will be offered.
These juried art shows aren’t your typical holiday church bazaar. Southern Oregon has its own art and craft movement that’s alive and well in Jackson County. Our Lithia artisans are professional craftspeople who make their living by creating useful and beautiful items.
The upcoming holiday shows feature many of the artisans you see on Calle Guanajuato and in front of Lithia Park in downtown Ashland during the outdoor spring-to-autumn season. Stones, wood, precious metals, wool, cotton, paint… all blended with imagination and years of well-honed technique and craftsmanship. Everything is artfully crafted by local hands.
Our Christmas Shows
The 20th Annual Christmas Faire returns to the Historic Ashland Armory over Thanksgiving Weekend, November 25-27. The event runs in conjunction with Ashland’s Festival of Lights. Join us after the parade on Main St. in Downtown Ashland. The parade starts at 5 pm.
Three weeks later we embark on the 16th Annual Holiday Market at the Medford Armory, December 16-18, the weekend before Christmas. It’s last-minute gift shopping at its finest!
Open to the public / Free Admission

A word about the pandemic…
Because everyone has a different way of navigating these unusual times, you will see a mix of masked and unmasked folks at the holiday markets. We encourage masks in these indoor spaces, but we will not be mandating them at these events. We will do our best to allow for good airflow to help us all stay healthy. Use common sense and treat each other with respect.
And don’t forget the outdoor market!
Meanwhile, if the weather allows, the Lithia Artisans Market will remain open in our outdoor location leading up to and in between these two larger indoor holiday markets. Look for us along Winburn Way in lower Lithia Park.
Special Fall Hours: Saturdays and Sundays 10:00 am-3:00 pm.
For more information on our shows, link to our Facebook page. Please come and shop outdoors or at our two indoor markets and let your friends and family know where to find unique gifts made by the artisans of southern Oregon.
