Our next Weeklong Celebration for Community Resilience will take place across difference city blocks in Downtown Grants Pass August 15th-23rd.

Upcoming True Medicine Events
The Medicine Show Revival is The Community Forward Circus. We travel from town to town with our three mobile stages aiming to empower, educate and entertain and to bring awareness to the medicine that is community. After two weeklong celebrations for community resilience in the Grants Pass, Oregon area, in April and October of 2025, we have found our desired launchpad for our traveling caravan. We have decided to not only stick around for another weeklong celebration for community resilience in downtown Grants Pass, this Summer August 15th-23rd, 2026, but we also now have a 5-year plan here in the area, as we aim to make Grants Pass the healthiest city in Oregon. ​​
​
We are joining efforts with True Juice in Grants Pass to create a community hub for health, arts, empowerment and education.

EMPOWERING, EDUCATING, AND ENTERTAINING SINCE 2011
The Medicine Show Revival is a 7 day celebration brought to small towns and rural areas that resources and delivers the medicine that is community and the pursuit of passion. With a mission statement of "Empower, Educate, Entertain" we hold a firm belief that community resilience starts with personal resilience.
What you would expect to find at the Medicine Show Revival are micro events that engage the whole community, including fun flash mob antics, educational workshops ranging from primitive skills to self-care, music, building, communication and much, much more, to shows from talent showcases to variety shows, movie night, etc;
The Medicine Show Revival truly has something for everyone. Delivered as a modern take on the uniquely American tradition of the prohibition era's Medicine Show movement, by the time we mosey onto the next town, yours will be tighter than ever. The Medicine Show Revival; Empower, Educate, Entertain.
