Looking to possibly check this out this year. Anyone with past experiences of attending this event?
Also any other things to do this holiday season outside of this event and Chirstmas in the Oaks?
Looking for different Ideas that we may have no experienced.
TIA!!
Above is the schedule for this Saturday that we are thinking about maybe going to.

It's awesome. Great for a date or family outing.

me and the wife drove up last saturday evening. walked along the river, watched the firework show and had dinner at The Landing. overall it was pretty enjoyable.

It used to be pretty wild. They've toned it down and made it a lot more family friendly now. The fireworks show is legit.

That's what I'm looking to here.

Both my parents are from there, and my grandfather is a past mayor. Owned a bed and breakfast before he died. His place was right on the parade route, so that's where we hung out most of the time.
At night, walk down to front street and just hang out. Watch the firework show. During the day, get a meat pie and go see all the historical places Natchitoches has to offer. Don't tie yourself down with events, just roam around and hang out.

I'd bet most folks dont know that Natchitoches is the oldest permanent settlement in the Louisiana Purchase Territory

Doubt it. Most people think it's New Orleans.
The only reason I know is because my grandfather traced his side of the family way back to its "origins", and found that one of our ancestors was one of the founders of the "permanent" settlement.
I quote "permanent" because the previous settlement fizzled out and was replaced a short time later.

Had a great time the one and only time that I went. Knew some people that got me a wristband to get into one of the "parties". Free beer and food. It was a good day.

I like Natchitoches, just a little too far up in North LA for my liking.

Just went this past saturday. Huge crowd due to the Thanksgiving Holiday. Should be better the next few weekends. Get meat pies from Laysons. Stay away from Mama's for drinks. $10 for a weak jack and coke was ridiculous.

I love Natchitoches

I'll be up there this weekend killing some woodies and deer.
Pretty sure we're going to check out the festival as well. Natchitoches is always a good time.

Can admission armbands be purchased online? I'd hate to drive 4 hours and not be admitted
Posted on 12/3/14 at 10:31 am to ForeverLSU02
good question....
3 hours for me...feel the same way though

Would love to check this out! Unfortunately I'll already be out of town this weekend. How is Natchitoches on other weekends? Will they still have plenty of lights and what not?
