hi luxre, you mean Natchez Mississippi Balloon race... normally this River Balloon Race of Natchez Mississippi will be held on 3rd weekend of October every year. It's really a wonderful and exciting race starts with the Balloon Glow Friday night and continues through Sunday evening. You can see a stage full of World renowned musicians who entertain the visitors. Two balloon flights take place each day and pilots compete as they fly over the Mississippi River and antebellum homes. It is very hard to find the places to stay,so advance booking will be needed if you want to see this Natchez Mississippi Balloon race. It's really a great race and worth to see.

hello jo, few months back we headed to Natchez for 3 nights stay.we have stayed at "The Burn" which is a quite affordable b&b with comfortable accommodations in a quiet atmosphere. They have wonderful garden and swimming pool to relax.we really felt a true luxury here.they are located in north union street and their contact number is 601-442-1344.

I love to visit historic places,if you are a kind of person then i recommend Longwood, Rosalie, Stanton Hall, old churches and St.Mary Basilica.

Magnolia Grill is a nice fun place to eat because you can enjoy your favorite food as well as watch the Mississippi river.you can eat some of the finest craw fish,catfish,Angus steaks and chicken. little expensive but excellent food.

hope this helps!
