≈≈Into≈≈ Not only does the grove play a major role in game days, it is also a vital part of student's lives during the off season.

≈≈Off-season events≈≈ Even though the Grove is known for its great tailgating spot during Ole Miss football season, it also hosts many events throughout the year. Every year, the city of Oxford hosts an event known as the Lafayette-Oxford-University Summer Sunset Series. This event takes place throughout the Ole Miss campus. On June 12, 2011, Kenny Brown performed in the Grove for the Summer Sunset Series. On June 10, 2012, Silas Reed N'Da Books performed for this event in the grove as well. Each year different performers perform in the Grove for the residents of Oxford and the Ole Miss community. As well as the Summer Sunset Series, there are also many different concerts that happen in the Grove thanks to the Student Activities Association at Ole Miss. In 2014 on a Friday night, Nelly performed in the Grove for hundreds of Ole Miss students. In 2015, the Student Activities Association set up a concert in the Grove where Thomas Rhett performed during the day and into the night.
