🎉 Inaugural Cowley Road “Find Your People” Summer Fiesta

Saturday 19 July | 12:00PM – 11:00PM
📍 The Yard (Jeune Street, just off Cowley Road)

Ready for Oxford’s most vibrant new tradition?

You’re invited to the very first “Find Your People” Summer Fiesta — a full-day celebration of food, music, laughter, connection, and community.

Hosted by IRL Oxford and the incredible team at The Yard, this is more than a party — it’s a people-powered movement to bring Cowley Road to life with real connection.


🌞 Daytime Vibes (12PM–5PM)
• 🌯 Six local food stalls — come hungry!
• 🎶 Music all day (including potential live sets TBD!)
• 🐶 Dog-friendly
• 🎈 Raffle prizes & giveaways
• 👶 Family-friendly (but there is potentially alcohol, so be mindful)
• 💬 Easy-going space to meet new people

🌙 Evening Energy (5PM–11PM)
• 🕺 Lights go up, music gets louder, the vibe continues
• 🎉 Great for meeting friends old & new
• 🍻 Drinks flowing, food still sizzling
• 💃 Still not a club — but you might end up dancing

❤️ Who’s This For?

Everyone.

Locals. New arrivals. Dog parents. Singles. Couples. Flatmates. Parents. Queer folks. Shy folks. Extroverts. Everyone who wants Oxford to feel a little more like home.

Why We’re Doing This

Because Oxford is more than just where we live — it’s our community.
We’re bringing Cowley Road to life and helping people rediscover the joy of face-to-face connection — in the real world, with real people.

Whether you stay for 30 minutes or all day, we can’t wait to welcome you.

(Consider this a down-payment on the goal to host the large outdoor festival later this summer 😉 )
