What’s better than food, ice cream, and shopping? All three, plus live music and giveaways in Downtown Ashland 🎶🍦🛍

Join the biggest community block party: Friday, August 28, 2026, Downtown After Dark returns for its second year, bringing neighbors, families, and friends into the heart of Ashland for an evening dedicated to community, connection, and discovering all that our town has to offer.

This community block party was born from a shared belief that vibrant communities don't happen by accident. They are built through relationships, shared experiences, and the everyday places where people gather, connect, and support one another. Downtown After Dark is ultimately about creating joy, strengthening connections, and reminding residents that one of Ashland's greatest assets is the people who call it home.

Join us to stroll, sip, shop, and celebrate summer!
