Saturday marked the beginning of Christmas holiday season in Natchez with the lighting of the 34 foot Christmas tree in the heart of Downtown Natchez.

Festivities included rides and activities for children, a meet and greet with Santa and caroling before the big countdown to the tree lighting.

Laser lights and snow then filled the night sky around the tree to wow attendees.
