The Production Behind Award-winning Double Decker Arts Festival

The planning for the Double Decker Arts Festival begins almost a year in advance with Lee Ann Stubbs as its coordinator. Winning over 20 awards over the past few years, this festival brings in more than 60,000 people. Originally inspired by the Double Decker Bus imported from England in 1994, this festival centers more around the arts and dedicates its weekend to celebrating local artists.

The employees of Visit Oxford diligently work to bring more people to Oxford, MS for these musicians and artists. Before the crowd arrives, Stubbs and her colleagues get to The Square early making sure the art vendors and volunteers feel ready to go. The restaurants also work hard to prepare for the surplus of visitors. Bacchus is just one of many restaurants with its servers and cooks prepping extra early for customers. All of the workers and volunteers seem to agree that the hard work is worth it when they see everyone having a great time.
