Natchez Historic Landmark Longwood announces its 4th annual “Longwood Afternoon,” an outdoor all-day community music event Saturday featuring hot and upcoming musicians that pull from a wide range of influences, including Southern rock, folk, jazz, pop and rhythm and blues.

There will also be lots of kids’ activities, free games, petting zoo, pony rides, arts and crafts, adult beverages, food and fun.

What better band to headline this year’s event at this historical icon than one called the “The Anteeks?”

The lineup also includes Magnolia Bayou, Matt Willis & Friends, Sullivan’s Hollow, Easily Distracted and Betsy Berryhill.
