Christmas In Natchez

November 27th - January 3rd
Home     About Us     Contact Us     Site Map      
Natchez Mississippi is enchanting anytime of the year, but during this year's holiday season, it will come to life as a story-book winter wonderland.  Imagine the incredible architecture throughout the commercial and residential districts outlined in soft white lights, while trees that silhouette the daytime sky in winter, are drapped in the same luminous fashion.  About the only hint of colored lights you'll see, will be those that adorn the City's Christmas tree, featured in the heart of downtown.  The City Christmas tree stands over thirty feet tall and serves as a beacon for downtown shopping, dining, and fun during the season.  There will be caroling at the tree by different church choirs and other local performers every evening during the season  from 5-6 p.m. Click Here for Schedule  Scroll down to see all the wonderful activities the holiday season in Natchez will hold, and bring the whole family along for some Christmas cheer served up Natchez Style!  For accommodations go to www.visitnatchez.org.  For book signings throughout the season at Cover-to-Cover click here!
