The Natchez Literary and Cinema Celebration takes pride in announcing plans for the 36th annual Celebration, taking place March 27-29, 2025. Using the theme “Follow the Frenchman through Natchez: The Farewell Tour of Lafayette,” this historical conference will celebrate the 200th anniversary of Gilbert du Mortier, the Marquis de Lafayette’s farewell tour of the United States.
This two-and-a-half-day event will be done in partnership with the Sons of the American Revolution. It will feature a living history educational encampment for high school students, a series of expert lectures on the life and contributions of Lafayette to the history of our nation, a reenactment of Lafayette’s journey up the Mississippi and his stop in Natchez in 1825, and several events including a General’s Banquet with period music and dance.
