The story

Double Decker Arts Festival in Oxford

Double Decker Arts Festival is a two-day spring celebration of food, music, and visual arts in the historic downtown Oxford Square in Oxford, Mississippi. Held each April, it draws a mix of local vendors, regional artists, and national touring musicians to one of the state's best-known college-town squares.

Oxford, Mississippi, has built an outsized cultural reputation for a city its size, home to the University of Mississippi, a concentration of independent bookstores and literary events tied to the legacy of William Faulkner, and a historic town square that has become one of the state's most recognizable small-city downtowns.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The festival takes its name from a double-decker bus that once served as a defining symbol of Oxford's downtown, and it stages entirely within the historic Oxford Square, a compact, walkable downtown built around the Lafayette County Courthouse that gives the festival a dense, concentrated energy uncommon in larger sprawling festivals

02

The mystery stays covered

Oxford's identity as home to the University of Mississippi and a significant literary heritage tied to William Faulkner adds a cultural weight to the festival's arts and food programming beyond a typical small-city spring street fair
