Double Decker Arts Festival 2026

The 29th Annual Double Decker Arts Festival takes its name from the town's authentic double decker bus imported from England in 1994. The festival brings together visitors and residents alike for a day-long celebration of music, food, and the arts held on Oxford's picturesque Courthouse Square.

Applications are reviewed by a panel of jurors selected by the Yoknapatawpha Arts Council. Selection is made based upon quality of work and diversity of the show. Past participation in Double Decker does not guarantee acceptance into the festival. Jurors will make their selections based entirely upon the 4 samples of your work submitted and the description of your work on your application. Booths are 10ftX10ft, with corner booths and double booths available. The artist is responsible for all items needed to set up booth such as tent, tables, chairs, etc.

The application requires a $28.00 non-refundable application/jury fee. If accepted, booth fees range from $250 for a single booth to $650 for a premium double corner booth. Applications are due January 15, 2026, with jury review from January 16-19, 2026.
