Ashcroft’s arts, culture, and heritage are rooted in its ties to Gold Rush history and the striking desert landscape. Located on the traditional territory of the Nlaka’pamux people, who have lived along the Thompson River for over 6000 years. As such, the village of Ashcroft carries deep Indigenous histories alongside its legacy as a Cariboo Gold Rush hub, with preserved heritage buildings and sites, such as the Ashcroft Museum, offering glimpses into its past. Today, local artists and culture makers draw inspiration from the stunning hills and valleys of the Thompson River region, resulting in an intimate, vibrant cultural scene that includes community exhibitions, artisan markets, and seasonal events.
