About the Venue

One of four armories remaining in Oregon that was built before WWI and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the beautiful Historic Ashland Armory is located near downtown Ashland. The building is rich with local history and has hosted an incredible list of live entertainers over the years, from Patti Griffin to Snoop Dog.

Our 2023 benefit auction is just around the corner!

Everyone 21+ is welcome to celebrate Carnival in the style of Brazil and the Caribbean with the Madrone Trail Public Charter School community. This will be the 16th rendition of our beloved auction fundraiser and this year will be truly special as it marks the return of the live version of this event after two years online.

Don your colorful finest (or not, there is no dress code) and join us for an exciting evening of spicy latin beats with DJ Finatikk, live and silent auctions, and a gourmet meal inspired by the tropical flavors of Brazil and the Caribbean and curated by our very own school chef.

Beer and wine as well as mocktails will be available for purchase. Plus there will be plenty of fun activities like adult face painting, a photo booth, dance and acrobatic performances, a raffle, and MORE!
