Summer’s Spectacular Lavender Blooms—Every June and July, visitors are drawn to the stunning, multi-sensory experience that our Jacksonville area lavender farms provide. The soft fragrance, the fields of fierce violet, along with the many colorful bumblebees and butterflies make the experience worth celebrating. But it only lasts 6 to 8 weeks, so… you have to pay attention.
Luckily, the Southern Oregon Lavender Trail (southernoregonlavendertrail.com) schedules two lavender festivals to make it easy to remember when all that beauty is happening. This year’s lavender festival dates are Friday, June 23 through Sunday, June 25 and Friday, July 14 through Sunday, July 16—hours are 10am to 5pm on festival days.
Each farm has different activities and events planned for the lavender festival days. They often include U-Cut fresh lavender bouquets, food, drinks, snacks, local artisans, local wineries and live music. Check each farm’s social media page for the full details of what they have planned. Admission to both festivals is free and this year there are six lavender farms and nurseries participating:
