Chalk About Medford returns Saturday at Rogue X after a rain delay pushed the event back from June. Artists of all ages will receive chalk and a sidewalk square to create their work, with prizes awarded before a free outdoor showing of “Hoppers” at dusk.

Fireworks over lakes, rivers and the coast will cap a busy July 3-5 Independence Day weekend across the Jefferson region, with parades, food, music, rodeos, train rides, car shows and family celebrations from Crescent City to Klamath Falls, Central Point, Lakeview, Alturas and Mt. Shasta.

Families in the Rogue Valley will have several movie options this summer, including free outdoor screenings in Medford and Central Point parks and discounted indoor family films at Tinseltown. Movies in the park begin at dusk, with Central Point’s series opening June 5 and Medford’s series beginning June 20.

The 2025 Klamath Snowflake Festival returns Nov. 29–Dec. 14 with two weeks of parades, performances, family fun, and this year’s theme, Arctic Adventures. The festival also honors longtime Salvation Army leader Debi Leighton as this year’s Grand Marshal.
