Natchez, a unique destination in the Southern United States, is the oldest settlement on the MIssissippi river. Its very name conjures up the exotic--a mix of people of all races and lands, romantic landscapes; and a wealth of architecture with buildings and homes dating back to the 1700's and featuring a wide range of architectural styles. Natchez is the South, old and new. Vibrant arts, cultural, culinary and sporting scenes suit a variety of interests and vacationing styles. From hunting the abundant wildlife; golfing; swimming, kayaking and other water sports; to hot air ballooning, runs, and bicycle races, it is a place to stay fit!!. For sheer fun, come celebrate Mardi Gras with Krewes, parades, and parties. Music lovers will enjoy our Natchez Music Festival or Blues Festival. The award winning Natchez Literary and Cinema festival might suit intellectual types. The Spring and Fall Pilgrimage are a notable slice of Natchez history as are events featuring earlier periods.
