Y'all Means All "The Weekend"

In Natchez, Mississippi, Y'all Means All—meaning that the community itself, and all of its enterprises, thrive the most when they are inclusive. They're also a lot more fun. 

The organization Y'all Means All Natchez—a group of LGBTQ+ individuals and supporters joined by a mission to provide resources for individuals suffering from despair and depression—brings you a weekend of good times and community celebration. 

It all kicks off Friday at Choctaw Hall for a special Wine and Cheese Reception in one of Natchez's most elegant homes. 6 pm–8 pm. $35.  And don't miss the After Party at Natchez Brewery from 8 pm–10 pm, and if you're still not all tuckered out—there is an after after party at The Birdcage that lasts until who knows when. 

Saturday morning (if you can manage to drag yourself out of bed), join local realtors for a tour of available homes while sipping traditional Southern cocktails and basking in historic Natchez magic. 

The night brings the inaugural Battle of the Belles, hosted by Nina West of RuPaul's Drag Race. Ty Herndon, known for his universal critical acclaim as a country artist, with countless charting singles and a Grammy nomination in his pocket, will also perform some of his most popular songs. All funds will go towards local efforts in suicide prevention and mental health counseling. 7 pm–9 pm at the Natchez City Auditorium. $50–$75.
