Oregon Shakespeare Festival – Ashland, OR

#springitinerary Spring in Ashland means the return of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival — and it was pure magic! The charming town buzzed with theater lovers, and the parks bloomed with cherry blossoms and tulips. I caught a matinee in the outdoor Elizabethan Theatre, where fresh mountain air and golden light added drama to the performance. Cozy cafés and wine bars made post-show evenings a delight. #springitinerary gold if you want a mix of culture, nature, and small-town charm. Pro tip: stroll through Lithia Park before your show — it’s stunning in spring!
