April 11, 2018


Oxford is a friendly community offering an array of unique shops, restaurants, a 7-screen movie theater, a variety of business services, and activities that attract and benefit area residents, industries and visitors. The community prides itself on strong academics, top-rated public services, and its down-to-earth, friendly hometown atmosphere. Oxford is also host to many wonderful events and is excited to add Experience Oxford to the list.

Experience Oxford will be an event-filled, family-friendly weekend to kick of a summer full of fun events. It’s the perfect opportunity to experience everything Oxford has to offer including: street performers, live entertainment, great food, tons of shopping, local entertainment, and an amazing community presence. It’s sure to have something for everyone!

Experience a walk on the wild side through the small town of Oxford, Michigan
The “Wildcat Walk” will take you on a journey showcasing the highly decorated Wildcats scattered throughout our quaint town from April-September. The Wildcat Walk is supported by area businesses, non-profit organizations, local entities, and individuals. A public auction of the Wildcats will take place in September.

Carry along your “Where’s the Wildcat Passport.” and collect stamps along the way
When visiting the business locations listed in the passport, keep your eyes open for our beloved Wildcat Mascot (a hidden Wildcat). Once you spot him, tell an employee and they’ll stamp your passport. Collect 10 stamps and receive your official “I Found the Wildcat” button. When you’ve collected 20 or more stamps, turn your passport in to be entered into our monthly drawing for even bigger prizes.

Stop in to the Pay it Forward Scholarship Art Show! (Located in The Monument Station) All pieces have been donated with 100% of the sales going to the Scholarship. You, Me, and Bubble Tea will also be selling Pay it Forward Fairies for $12 a piece with all money going to the Scholarship.

Experience Oxford is still looking for street performers. Interested volunteers can find the registration form on the Experience Oxford Facebook page!
