Rusty Street Party 2026

Saturday 18th July

East Oxford’s biggest street party is back.

For one day only, we’ll be closing the top of Hurst Street, rolling out the stage, pouring cold pints from the Dodo Beer Box and filling the street with an incredible day of free live music, great food and the unbeatable atmosphere that makes the Rusty Street Party one of the highlights of the Oxford summer.

We’re once again teaming up with our friends at Truck Store to bring together some of the best emerging artists from across Oxford and beyond, alongside a few Rusty favourites.

A Few Things to Know

The Rusty Street Party is a celebration of our neighbourhood and everyone is welcome. It’s a day for families, friends, neighbours and visitors alike, so please be respectful of those who call Magdalen Road home.

The street becomes an extension of the pub for the day, so pub rules apply. Please don’t bring your own alcohol, as you’ll be asked to leave.

Come hungry, come thirsty and bring your dancing shoes.

We’ll see you on the street.
