Glow Swim


Oxford News, Events

When we started talking about bringing back Late Night Swims last year, the very first idea we came up with was a July 3rd Glow Swim! We wanted to kick off the 4th of July weekend with an event that not only brought back great memories but helped create new ones for families and friends.

To make the night even more exciting, Blaine Street Sound will be here spinning all your favorite music while you swim! Even better, Wheatstate Technologies has generously sponsored the event, making admission FREE for everyone!

We'll have glow sticks, fun beach balls, and plenty of red, white, and blue lights to make the pool glow all night long. 

Bring the whole family, jump in the pool after dark, dance to the music, and help us kick off the 4th of July weekend the best way we know how. We can't wait to see you there!

City Office and Library Closed

The City of Oxford and Oxford Public Library will be closed on Friday, July 3rd, in observance of the 4th of July holiday.

If you experience a utility emergency during the closure, please call 911, and our utility crew will be dispatched.

We wish everyone a happy, safe, and enjoyable 4th of July as we celebrate 250 years of American independence! πŸŽ†

Have a wonderful holiday weekend! β˜€οΈπŸ§¨πŸŽ‰
