Music—Throughout the day, festival attendees can browse to the rhythmic sounds of bluegrass, jazz, gospel, blues, country, folk, zydeco, and regional rock-and-roll groups. Performing on two stages erected on either side of the historic county courthouse, the musicians promise to deliver shows that will have everyone's feet tapping.
Food—Hungry from a day of shopping and dancing, attendees will want to stroll through the "Taste of Oxford" food court featuring a mouth-watering sampling of culinary treats from local restaurateurs. Whether a spicy cup of duck gumbo, a slice of pepperoni pizza, or a chocolate-filled croissant, there is something to satisfy everybody's palate.
Art—Over one hundred art vendors from around the region will display their creative wares for the anticipated 45,000 attendees. Selected by Oxford's Yoknapatawpha Arts Council, the vendors include potters, glass craftsmen, woodworkers, painters, and self-taught artists working in a variety of mediums.
Square Fair—The children's Square Fair on the First Presbyterian Church lawn will again feature magic shows, face painting, clowns, storytelling, a petting zoo, and musicians to keep both children and their parents entertained. The highlight of the afternoon is the Best Dressed Pet Contest when participants, hoping to win the coveted first prize, parade their dogs, cats, rabbits, and even chickens dressed in elaborate costumes.
Spring Run—Start the day with the Chamber of Commerce 10K run & 5K walk. With courses winding through the University of Mississippi campus and nearby Oxford neighborhoods, the two courses are fun for both beginning joggers and experienced athletes. For more information call Oxford-Lafayette County Chamber of Commerce at 662.234.4651.
NuttSack. com is going to be huge. Once the t-shirts are printed then the fun will start. We are going to hit campus about a week before the spring game. Passing out t-shirts to willing coeds then we are going to have tent in the grove for the spring game and NuttSack. com after party.
