This weekend, April 26-27, over 65,000 people will gather for the 24th annual Double Decker Arts Festival in Oxford. This family friendly festival is held on the iconic Courthouse Square. Double Decker has won more than 25 awards, including the honor of “Best Festival” by Mississippi Magazine in addition of being named a “Top 20 Event” by the Southeast Tourism Society.
Double Decker has something to delight everyone. “A Southern showcase – from mouthwatering bites to inspiring art –Like any respected Southern tradition, the festival has grown while preserving its original integrity. Tried and true tasty temptations, from snow cones to roast beef sandwiches to pizza by the slice, all from local vendors - many offering a specialty item that can only be found during the event – satisfy hunger pangs. An artist showcase is regulated by the Yoknapatawpha Arts Council which selects the jury from a panel of local artists, bringing more than 130 art vendors to the event, spanning a variety of media including drawings, glass, jewelry, mixed media, painting, photography, print making and sculpture.”
