Louisiana Events
98th Annual Christmas Festival
Dec 07, 2024

Named after a Native American tribe, Natchitoches (pronounced Nack-a-tish ) is the oldest permanent settlement in the Louisiana Purchase Territory. Since 1927, we are home to one of the oldest community-based holiday celebrations in the country. Starting as a one-day festival, the Natchitoches Christmas Festival has evolved into a six-week-long Christmas Season. The Christmas Season begins on the Saturday before Thanksgiving and concludes on January 6th, the Epiphany. Over 300,000 lights and 100-plus set pieces are displayed every night at dusk. This year's parade rolls at 1 PM, Fireworks Over Cane River at 6 PM and will feature musical guests The Cartoons 3 PM-5 PM and Nashville South 5 PM-730PM. More Info
