UPDATE (January 17, 2023) – THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED DUE TO ROAD CONDITIONS
One of Oxford’s favorite wintertime events, the Oxford Indoor Yard Sale, returns this Saturday, January 20, from 9 am to 1 pm at the Oxford Conference Center. Admission is $2 for adults; children aged 12 and under are admitted for free. The event is held rain or shine.
The Oxford Conference Center is located at 102 Ed Perry Blvd, off of Sisk Ave.
Shoppers can browse some 40 booths featuring a wide array of items including children and adult clothes, toys, books, electronics, antiques, home furniture and furnishings, small appliances, and other home goods.
Lori Markle, who oversees the Yard Sale, says the event has become a community staple with all vendor booths completely booked. “We sold out all our booth space in a record three weeks.”
Applications for a booth in next year’s sale will be available this coming October and are on a first-come basis. No date has been set the for the January 2025 sale.
Oxford Conference Center Director, Micah Quinn, notes the event draws people from all over north Mississippi.
“We expect a large turn out from not only Lafayette County but also our surrounding counties,” she reveals. “This event has become such a favorite, people are willing to travel an hour or so.”
Long time vendor Dee Jones loves participating in the annual sale.
“My daughter and I have been participating in the Oxford Indoor Yard Sale for several years now,” Jones notes. “We love the convenience: No advertising, putting up tables, or having to worry about the weather. Just set up and sell. We love the OCC staff and look forward to this every year.”
Best of all, nothing gets thrown away. Any unsold items can be donated to Holding Hands Resale, a thrift and consignment store on 1433 N Lamar Blvd.
