What a beautiful time of the year in Natchez, MS and so much going on for people of all ages, but especially the retirees. Our Spring Pilgrimage from March 12-April 16 features 25 antebellum homes; many of them private homes. Beside the tour of homes, there are musical productions: theater, at our award winning Natchez Little Theatre; gospel music; and historical presentations take center stage each evening of Pilgrimage.
The Natchez Powwow, held at the Grand Village of the Natchez Indians is being held this year on March 26-27. The powwow features Native American dancing, food, and crafts "This Powwow is significant because of its location at an actual mound site", said Jim Barnett, director of the Grand Village. " Natchez Indians lived here and danced here and that long history makes this all the more special."
Held each April is the Natchez Bluffs Blues Festival and the Delta Music Festival. This year's Delta Music Festival will be moved to Sept. 10. If you like the Blues, you will love the Bluffs Blues Festival.
May will feature the Symphony of Gardens Tour, although a rather new event, it's becoming a favorite in Natchez. It is a fun filled May 6 and 7. The always popular Natchez Festival of Music, celebrating opera, Broadway and jazz will be celebrated the whole month of May.
Information on any of these events, (and much more), including lodging, or restaurants can be obtained by contacting the Natchez Visitors Center (800-647-6724) or me personally (cfeiser@bellsouth.net) and I will see that your needs are met.
Hope you enjoy hearing about what is going on in Natchez during each of the seasons. I am glad to bring it to you and hope you are able to join us this year.
