Oxford

For events and things to do in Oxford, MS, the town's rhythm is set by the university calendar and the energy of the historic downtown Square. Life here pulses between laid-back cultural gatherings and the massive tailgates that take over The Grove on fall game days. Beyond the campus, the local scene is rooted in live music, literary arts, and a strong sense of community at local markets and festivals.

• The historic downtown Square serves as the epicenter for nightlife and dining, with venues like Proud Larry's shifting from restaurant to live music stage as the evening progresses.
• On fall weekends with a home football game, the social scene revolves around the elaborate tailgating traditions in The Grove on the Ole Miss campus.
• Year-round cultural programming finds a home at The Powerhouse Community Arts Center, a converted power plant that hosts art exhibits, performances, and the weekly Thacker Mountain Radio Hour.
