Holiday Time!

Oxford, Miss.--On November 13, 2010 the Oxford Convention and Visitors Bureau and local event planner Fete of Oxford are kicking off the Holiday season in Oxford with the first Oxford Holiday Market. Held at the Oxford Conference Center the Oxford Holiday Market includes over 40 vendors from around the region boasting a variety of gift options including jewelry, clothing, home goods, and holiday decorations.

"There are so many fun things to do in Oxford around Christmas time,” said Mary-Kathryn Millner, Director of Tourism for the CVB, “ We hope people from around the region will plan a weekend get-a-way, or maybe just a day trip to take advantage of the charm and quality of Oxford’s shopping as they prepare for the holidays.”

The Market will also feature photos with Santa, on-site monogramming and a gift wrapping station. “We are so excited for shoppers to see the quality and variety of vendors that we have lined up,” said Hayden Hiter, Holiday Market organizer and CVB Sales Manager.

In addition to the Holiday Market, the CVB will hold two guided tours of Oxford on the Double Decker Bus on November 13 at 11:00 and 1:00, and University Museum will be hosting a family folk art day. Some of the other exciting holiday activities include the Downtown Council Open House on November 26, The Holiday Art Market December 3-5, the annual Oxford Christmas Parade on December 6 and Santa’s workshop day at the University Museum on December 11.
