Gather ‘Round with Rogue World Music for our springtime music & sing-along event during the Ashland First Friday Artwalk!

A sleeper-hit of the festival every year, this event is a must-attend for novices and experts alike. All are welcome to learn and immerse themselves in a culturally-specific percussion practice. The best part? No drums are needed!

THIS year, we present the percussive practice of Gumboot Dancing - a form of body percussion and dance from South Africa, originating as a symbol of unification and resistance to oppression during Apartheid and an enduring expression of hope & solidarity. Taught by John Mambira.

A rockin'-good time on a journey through Americana, Appalachian, Bluegrass, & Rock, with hints of Zydeco, Country, & Classical music. Food trucks and beer garden on site. Bring your dancing shoes! Free.

An interactive, playful, & multigenerational community singing experience!

An intimate evening of music and stories on the theme of ‘home’ featuring festival artists and community members.

An exciting lineup of 6 captivating concerts with world-class musicians, performing live at the enchanting Butler Bandshell in beautiful Lithia Park, located in the vibrant heart of downtown Ashland, OR.
