Ballet in Lithia Park
What better way to spend the evening than enjoying ballet in a beautiful open park? Every summer since 1985, visitors and locals have enjoyed free ballet performances at the “bandstand” in Lithia Park. Surviving on grants and fundraisers, the performances have continued and have become a rich part of Ashland’s unique culture. The free ballet performances are performed by the Ballet Rogue, a company of professional ballet dancers who also perform at the Craterian Ginger Rogers Theater in Medford. Their mission is “To promote the art of classical ballet by presenting professional ballet performances in Southern Oregon.”
Shows are usually on Mondays and start at 7:30 PM, with a pre-show lecture beginning at 6:30 PM. There is bench seating and lots of lawn space.
