The Medicine Show Revival

The Medicine Show Revival is a local 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with a mission to empower, educate and entertain and an aim to put on two weeklong celebrations for community resilience and 100+ microevents a year. We provide the container (the event) for the community to come together, pursue their passions and follow their dreams, in the hopes that these events, and the magic that occurs within them, will leave the community stronger than ever. This Medicine Show Revival in Downtown Grants Pass Summer 2026 will span across the city over the course of nine days, starting Saturday, August 15th with a Mobile Bike and Car Party and ending with a chill day at Riverside Park (location pending with application in progress) August 23rd. The days in between will take place at different selected city blocks throughout downtown Grants Pass. We have hand selected each of these city blocks, in recognition of their commitment in making Grants Pass more resilient. Each day has a theme, a color (suggested wardrobe theme) and a different location in the downtown Grants Pass area! Below are the details, which will adjust as slots are filled and permits are approved. Please reach out if you are interested in leading a workshop, performing, or presenting a speech, and/or more! ********** Saturday, August 15th Theme: Shedding Light on the Darkness - Our Access to Mental Health Color: Black, White and Yellow -Decorating Party starts at 2pm outside of True Juice.
