On Friday November 24, 2023, the City of Ashland's 31st annual Festival of Light Celebration will take place. The parade will begin at 5:00pm in front of the Ashland Public Library and will move west along East Main Street toward the Plaza. East Main Street between Gresham Street and Water Street will be closed from 3:00pm to 7:00pm, and Lithia Way will be set up for two-way traffic needs within the downtown corridor during that time.
Please note, all vehicles parked within the parade route after 3:00pm will be towed.
For the safety of parade participants and event attendees, no vehicles will be allowed within the parade area. All tow areas will be posted well ahead of time, so please pay attention to signage.
The City of Ashland Police Department hopes everyone will have a safe and enjoyable Holiday season.
