, at the City Council Chambers and then celebrate together at our 2024 Inaugural Gala, to be held at Rolling River Reloaded, 406 Main Street, from 6 to 8 p.m. Featured artist will be Blues Legend YZ Ealey.
All events are free and open to the public. The theme of this year’s inaugural is “One River – One Natchez.” Just as the river flows as one, so must our city.
And while we are making great progress, there is much more to be made. I am excited about the past four years, yes. We have had tremendous economic growth.
The Natchez Renewal is evident everywhere you look: 50 newly paved streets, parks that are safe again, and once again ringing with the laughter of children playing; public buildings that are beginning to shine again with new paint – and new pride; tourism that is booming, with one millio.
