NATCHEZ — Art and history are cued up for this weekend in the Miss-Lou.

Clear skies and highs in the mid-90s make for a weekend best spent near a body of water, but be prepared to draw yourself away for the events Natchez has in store.

Second Saturday

The second Saturday of the month isn’t just any Saturday in Natchez.

Food, shopping, art and music fill the streets of downtown Natchez, even after shop windows would normally be dark and the doors would be locked.

To attend the event is free, but bring your pocketbook in case you find that perfect piece of art.

Natchez Legends and Lore

Monday night brings stories of the birth of Mississippi to Natchez.

Head to Rolling River Bistro to hear Jack Elliott present “City and Empire: Spanish Natchez and the Birth of Mississippi.”

The free event begins 5:30 p.m. and will last approximately an hour.
