Easing into the week with a little live music

De Armanville, AL · March 30, 2026

Happy Monday — hope the pollen’s treating you kindly and the coffee’s doing its job. Here’s what’s worth knowing between now and tomorrow morning.

Local Pulse

  • Quiet but steady start to week No major incidents or disruptions reported in and immediately around the community overnight, which means roads, schools, and routine errands should move on a normal schedule as the week gets going.

  • Oxford concert brings crowd this evening A rescheduled Mark Chesnutt show at Oxford Performing Arts Center tonight is expected to draw folks from across Calhoun County. Plan for heavier traffic around downtown Oxford before and after the show if you’re heading that way.

  • Spring events lining up countywide Regional calendars are filling with April runs, kids’ programs, and garden events in Anniston, Jacksonville, and Talladega. If you like to plan ahead, this week is a good time to pick a few and get them on your calendar.

Today’s Outlook

  • High 73°F · Low 51°F
    • Mild and pleasant with dry roads and comfortable air for outdoor chores or an after-dinner walk. A light layer will feel good early and after sunset; no major weather hiccups expected for commuters.

What's On Around Town

  • Mark Chesnutt Live in Concert Oxford Performing Arts Center, 100 Choccolocco St, Oxford 7:15 PM (doors 6:15 PM) A rescheduled date for the country hitmaker brings a big-stage show just down the road — good option if you’ve been craving live music on a Monday night.

  • Anniston: Evening Stroll at Lagarde Park Trails Trailheads off Museum Dr, Anniston Best between 5:30–7:30 PM (daylight) With comfortable temps and dry conditions, the paved and natural paths around Lagarde Park make for an easy after-work walk or bike ride without committing to a full hike.

  • Oxford: Family Dinner Night Downtown Restaurants around Choccolocco St and Main St, Oxford 5:00–8:00 PM (typical dinner hours) Several local spots stay open on Mondays, making downtown Oxford a convenient option for a low-key family meal before or after an evening drive.

Spotlight & Story

  • Oxford Performing Arts Center Housed in a restored 1930s-era building off Choccolocco Street, Oxford Performing Arts Center has quietly become one of the region’s cultural anchors, drawing national acts, orchestras, comedians, and community productions. The auditorium’s careful renovation preserved vintage character while adding modern sound and seating, so a night there feels both hometown-familiar and big-city polished. Many locals make a point of arriving early just to linger in the lobby and catch neighbors they haven’t seen in a while.
