This holiday season, the Oxford Community Market invites residents to skip the hustle of big-box shopping and overpriced events to experience the warmth and charm of their local farmers market.

OXCM’s annual Hometown Holiday Markets will take place at 3 p.m. on Dec. 10 and Dec. 17 at the Old Armory Pavilion. These free, family-friendly events offer a festive way to connect with the community while supporting local farmers, bakers and artisans.

On Tuesday, December 10, attendees can enjoy:

• Live Music: Dance along to holiday tunes performed by local favorites Rocket 88.
• Holiday Tasting: Sample delicious seasonal flavors courtesy of Chicory Market.
• Eco-Friendly Gift Wrapping: Wrap your presents sustainably with help from Ole Miss Eco.
• Baby Animal Encounters: Cuddle adorable animals from Forever Farm.

The markets promise a cheerful atmosphere filled with seasonal treats, activities, and the opportunity to shop unique, handcrafted gifts.
