Double Decker Arts Festival 2024
It’s Double Decker Arts Festival time! We could not be any more excited that it’s happening this month, April 26-27, on the Oxford Square! A HUGE THANK YOU to the Team at Visit Oxford for putting this on each year!
Lee Ann Stubbs, Double Decker Arts Festival Coordinator, recently accepted the award for the 2023 Mississippi Large Festival of the Year! She and her team at Visit Oxford start preparing for each year’s Double Decker Festival as soon as the previous year’s festival ends.
I don’t know if the over 65,000 attendees each year know how HARD this team at Visit Oxford work to bring this 2-day festival to life! Of course, the preparation is one thing. Choosing the 10 musical acts, the 140 art vendors, the numerous food/drink vendors, finding sponsors, choosing the artist to create the festival’s “official art” each year (by the way, it’s Jules Mikell) – So. Much. Work. And, they work the 2-day festival from start to finish. Lee Ann shared, “My favorite part of the weekend is when the last musical act takes the stage. Our staff usually views this act back stage from the stage. I love to see the crowd having fun and enjoying the music and knowing that we made this happen! Definitely makes my heart happy!”
Do you know they NEED volunteers to help run the festival each year? You could be a part of Double Decker! Lee Ann shared, “We have the volunteer sign up ready for the weekend of activities and would love y’all to be a part of the festival. Please visit the link to sign up. A required training meeting for all volunteers will be held the week of the festival at the Visit Oxford office. We would love for anyone and everyone to sign up for a shift!”
Let’s make sure we know WHO this Visit Oxford team is: Kinney Ferris, Executive Director; Laine Mitchell, Partnerships Manager; Nadia Thornton, Director of Sales & Marketing; Hanna Teevan, Digital Content Manager; Lee Ann Stubbs, Double Decker Arts Festival Coordinator; and Leah Veazey, Office Administrator. A HUGE THANK YOU for bringing to life one of our favorite events of the year and, quite frankly, one of our favorite things about Oxford.
