Attendees are encouraged to bring lawn chairs, picnic blankets, and plenty of patriotic spirit, as the bluff will transform into a sea of red, white, and blue. Food vendors, yard games, and activities for all ages will be available throughout the evening. 

Adding to the excitement will be a special announcement from the Natchez Balloon Festival at 7 p.m. as well as remarks from Natchez Mayor Dan Gibson, highlighting the city’s ongoing commitment to community celebration and civic pride.

The main event – the fireworks show – will begin at 9:30 p.m., lighting up the Natchez sky in a dazzling tribute to America’s birthday.
