This year’s Natchez DDA Christmas theme is “Christmas Around the World”. Participants are planning their floats, store windows, class projects and company parties around this theme to share what Christmas is like for children in Italy, Greece, Spain, or so many other interesting places. What a great project for students to research the ways our neighbors celebrate Christmas.
First Friday Weekend in December begins Friday night, December 5th, with the lighting of the Christmas tree, artist exhibitions, and downtown caroling. The weekend continues on Saturday with shopping specials, children’s activities, and the biggest Christmas Parade Downtown Natchez has ever seen!
December is filled with many new and unique events and volunteers are needed to make the season special for our community. Contact Carrie Lambert at the Natchez DDA office.
Natchez DDA is also seeking sponsors of Christmas floats - just like last year - so that DDA is able to continue working with Commercial Christmas Specialties to assemble decorations for the fabulous floats. Decorations for last year’s floats were $1,000 – broken up into 2 payments of $500 – one last year and one this year. Commercial Christmas will customize designs to fit businesses and budgets. Sponsor banners will be displayed on floats. After the parade, decorations will be removed to the bluff where they will be displayed for viewing by the public until right after New Years--giving the sponsors of the floats free advertisement for about a month. Decorations will be stored for future use. Once the cost of a decoration is paid in full by the sponsor, the sponsor will own the decoration.
Contact Carrie Lambert at (601) 442-2929 for more information about sponsoring (or sharing sponsorship) a float.
