Ashland Sarcasm Festival!
IS RETURNING! This DECEMBER 4-6 2026
Year TWO of Our Mirth — 2026: the 2nd annual Ashland Sarcasm Festival!
After a wildly successful first year, the festival returns in December 2026 — bigger, sharper, and full of irony. In partnership with EPIC Ashland and the Angus Bowmer Theatre, it grows into a town-wide event.
What to expect:
Familiar faces and venues with the same dry, playful humor.
New acts, expanded programs, and fun surprises that make you laugh and roll your eyes.
More local vendors and community participation.
A town-wide festival across many stages including the Angus Bowmer, and other unique locations: plays, pop-up shows, stand-up, quick sketches, musical satire, improv workshops, and interactive pieces — all with plenty of sarcasm.
Save the December dates, 2026, and get ready for a louder, wittier, and more delightfully snide celebration.
HIGHLIGHTS FROM ASF! YEAR ONE!
Free Bike Valet is returning this Summer!
Our partnership with SOU student athletes proved that Ashland's cycling community was waiting to be activated. This year, we're expanding the program — more events, more athletes, more bikes, more proof that Ashland moves better when it moves together.
To create an ever-flowing calendar of events for Ashland we recently launched the ‘Eventorship’ program which is as simple as the name — a mentorship pathway designed to take event ideas and develop them into successful, sustainable events that will, over time, fill our calendar with a cultural richness that reflects the unique personality of this town and helps Ashland realize its full potential as a year-round destination.
