Join us for Oxford Pride’s only official drag show!

For the uninitiated, drag performance may come off as shocking, over-the-top, dripping with innuendo, and sometimes downright crass. That is by design! Drag performance has a long history in the LGBTQ community, first being performed by trans women and gay men in small bars and at extravagant balls across the country since at least the early 20th century. Drag is purposefully transgressive, pushing the envelope in order to satirize what is acceptable to normative society. Drag kings and queens seek to expose the ridiculousness of gender roles and sexual repression through their performances.

The Community Resource Fair is our annual opportunity to learn about community resources, get information on academic programs and campus resources, and gather as a community. The event is free and open to the public.

UM Pride Network is the official sponsor of the Oxford Pride’s Community Resource Fair.

This year, we are encouraging you all to “Love Yourself” as we stroll through Oxford.

Out in Education: North Mississippi and UM Pride Network are the official sponsors of the 2026 Oxford Pride Parade.

Various LGBTQ+-owned businesses in Water Valley will be open and celebrating Pride (and offering discounts) before the Parade.

The CASE office and RASA invite you all to be part of our 2026 Denim Day!

Since 1999, Peace Over Violence has run an inspiring and powerful campaign to practice solidarity and support survivors by renewing our commitment to exposing harmful behaviors and attitudes surrounding sexual violence. Denim Day is recognized on the last Wednesday in April in honor of Sexual Assault Awareness Month. The campaign began after a ruling by the Italian Supreme Court to overturn a rape conviction because the justices felt that since the victim was wearing tight jeans she must have helped the person who raped her remove them, thereby implying consent. Following the reversal, the women in the Italian Parliament came to work wearing jeans in solidarity with the victim.

Inspired by this case and the activism surrounding it, Peace Over Violence and Executive Director Patti Giggans developed the Denim Day campaign in 1999.  Since then, what started as a local event in Los Angeles to bring awareness to victim blaming and destructive myths that surround sexual violence has grown into a worldwide movement.

As the longest-running sexual violence prevention and education campaign in history, Denim Day asks community members, elected officials, businesses and students, and all individuals  to make a social statement with their fashion statement by wearing jeans on Denim Day as a visible means of protest against the misconceptions that continue to surround sexual violence.
