Between Thanksgiving and New Year's, the Bluff City packs in sleigh-loads of holiday events, collectively known as "Christmas in Natchez." Lots to look forward to in December, but in November festivities will get underway the Friday after Thanksgiving, when Natchez offers shopping specials, the annual Turkey Gumbo Cook-Off, and the lighting of the town Christmas tree. Visit christmasinnatchez.com for a complete schedule.
