Ashland City Band playing on a summer evening in Lithia Park

The Ashland City Band, directed by Don Bieghler and sponsored by the City of Ashland, presents an annual series of  “concerts in the park” every summer. The concerts take place at the Butler Memorial Band Shell in Lithia Park every Thursday from late June until early August. 

Concerts are free and a variety of pre-concert entertainment groups play each week starting at 6:15 p.m. with the City Band playing at 7 p.m. Bring the family, bring a picnic, bring a friend and enjoy these free concerts this summer. 

The City Band also presents a Fourth of July Concert at 11 a.m. in the Band Shell following the Ashland Chamber of Commerce parade.
