26th Annual Double Decker Arts Festival
The award-winning 26th Annual Double Decker Festival will take place April 28nd-29rd, 2023 on the historic Oxford Square in Oxford, MS. Originally inspired by the Double Decker bus that Oxford imported from England in 1994, the festival showcases Oxford as a town that supports the arts and has grown to be one of the champion events in the region. Double Decker started with the bed of an old pickup truck serving as the stage for music, and only hosted a handful of art and food vendors. Today, the event is centered around the Square and boasts a crowd of more than 60,000 people. In a two-day format, Double Decker will kick-off on Friday with art demonstrations around the Square and the evening with Thacker Mountain Radio hosting a live broadcast complete with music. Saturday is an all-day affair featuring over 100 art and 20+ local food vendors while a generous mix of touring musicians like The Stews, Chapel Hart, The Mississippians Jazz Ensemble, Lissie, Marcus King, and many others. On Saturday, there will also be a Double Decker Spring run 5k and 10k, For more information about the festival, contact Visit Oxford at 662-232-2477 or leeann@visitoxfordms.com.
