Last year year, I founded the Natchez International Crepe Myrtle Festival because the extraordinary Crepe Myrtle Blooms of Natchez are worth celebrating! While there’s not a festival with speakers this year, our Committee members have created a perfect experience to Celebrate the Blooms!

There's three self-guided free tours have been developed by Crepe Myrtle Historian and Committee member, Elaine Gemmell:
  • Bloom Drive - A Driving Tour that takes in top blooming area trees 
  • Historic Natchez City Cemetery - Established in 1822 and it's breathtaking! Drive or walk and see over 490 trees. 
  • Downtown Walking Tour - Sip & See the largest concentration of trees in the city. Route includes the city's Go-Cup district.
Further, Mayor Darryl Grennell assures us that Natchez is open! Self-guided tours offer visitors a highly enjoyable way to explore Natchez and respect the need for low contact forms of entertainment. We encourage visitors to observe social distancing and to please be respectful by wearing a mask when entering businesses.

10,000 Blooming
Trees & Counting!

self-guided bloom tours

​So here's a summer sightseeing trip idea: take in some of the loveliness and deliciousness that Natchez offers and experience the city in a low contact manner! 

Rita Tebbetts tells us the trees are still moving towards peak season and that the blooms should be pretty possibly even into August!
"Of course, mother nature didn't get the Co-Vid memo. Come to Natchez to take in the show.  the beauties won't mind a bit if you want to snap a few photos to share with friends.  You'll need evidence anyway to prove to doubters what you will witness. 

​
​The best photos are probably done from a distance, but these trees won't mind if you want to move in close. I don't think they will be taking social distancing too seriously," Tebbetts said.


​Take in the magnificent architecture of Natchez!
