OXFORD — Oxford Farmers’ Market vendors will be back out on Lafayette Park for Opening Day of the 2026 summer season this Saturday from 9 a.m. to noon on Lafayette Park in Oxford.

Dozens of local farmers, bakers, cooks, beekeepers, syrup producers, soap makers and artisans will gather together to sell their locally grown and produced goods directly to the community. All of this is accompanied by live music courtesy of the generous performers who come out every Saturday to play in Oxford's historic Bandstand. That’s what you’ll find on Opening Day — and every Saturday through September.

This week, longtime Market favorite, composer George Anderson, opens the 2026 Bandstand season by filling the Park with his bluesy compositions, 10 a.m. to noon in the Bandstand. Over 30 vendors will be offering a wide variety of local plant starts and seeds for the garden; just-picked seasonal veggies and mushrooms; eggs of all kinds; dairy products and regional cheeses; locally raised and processed beef, lamb, pork and chicken; maple syrup and honey; coffee and tea; hand-made soaps, lotions and balms; homemade treats for dogs; exquisitely hand-crafted items for the kitchen and home; artwork and notecards, and artisan fiber products from local producers. Every product straight from a local source and the skilled hands of your neighbors. 

All events at the Market are free and open to the public.
