Welcome to the 6th Annual Ashland Literary Arts Festival! This year’s event focuses on independent story and thought throughout the entire Cascadia region, celebrating not only books, but all forms of expression: literature, poetry, journalism, art, lyrics, comics, film, and documentary. We invite you to come on in, explore the festival schedule, and find the stories that speak to you!
Brief history of Teddy Roosevelt's Great White Fleet, history of postcards as our sailor sends them home to his sweetheart telling about the cruise, readings from the crossing of the equator and the receiving of 16 bear cubs, one for each ship, in Seattle.
