Hoka Days - a month-long celebration of the arts and culture in Oxford and Lafayette County celebrating the spirit of Ron Shapiro.
The 2024 celebration will feature a second line honoring Ron and a concert featuring Hope Clayborns's Soul Scrimmage on Friday, August 30th, a few days after Ron's birthday.
Donations received by the Arts Council in Ron's memory during this event will support the expansion of the Powerhouse to provide a makers space for artists.
The second line and concert are free thanks to the generous support of Cathead, the Mississippi Arts Commission, SouthArts, Visit Missisisppi, Visit Oxford, and the members of the Yoknapatawpha Arts Council!
