NATCHEZ — Hundreds of people braved the cold Saturday night to partake in rides and activities around the 34-foot tall Christmas tree as it was lit in the center of Downtown Natchez.
Festivities included a train ride, bungee jump, rock climbing wall, photo opportunity with Santa Claus and caroling around the Christmas tree which culminated into the big countdown for the tree being lit, which was followed by snow from snow machines and a laser light show.
Here are some scenes from the activities on Saturday.
