Every summer, Square Books hosts popular scavenger hunt event to boost local economy
Celebrating its fourteenth anniversary in July 2026, Find Waldo Local has become a beloved summertime event in communities nationwide with hide-and-seek fun designed to encourage residents to patronize their local businesses.
There is no charge to participate, and the hunt lasts for the entire month of July.
We’re officially on a Waldo Watch! Everyone’s favorite stripe-clad seek-and-find friend is making his way back to Oxford. Keep an eye out—Waldo will waltz back onto the Oxford Square next week! Folks can pick up their Waldo “passports” and begin the hunt at Square Books Jr. starting Wednesday, July 1 and running through July 31.
