The United Way of Oxford-Lafayette County will once again flash back for the Lafayette-Oxford-University community’s future at the 2023 United Way Flashback Bash, presented by CoreLogic. The event will be held at the Oxford Conference Center from 7 to 11 p.m. on
Saturday, Aug. 12.

“The Flashback Bash provides a perfect opportunity for our community to come together for a great night out that will also make a significant impact,” UWOLC Executive Director Kurt Brummett said. “You can dress up or simply comes as you are – as all we ask is that everyone arrive ready to let loose as they enjoy an evening full of incredible music, food and fun with Almost Famous, Taylor Grocery Special Events Catering, Oxford PhotoBomb and the LOU community.”
