Fun-filled festivals take place throughout the year in the Magnolia State; however, the Great Mississippi River Balloon Race is definitely one of the best. Featuring live entertainment, carnival rides, and dozens of hot air balloons, it’s truly unique. There’s even a sister festival, Blufftober Fest, which is the city’s version of Oktoberfest. Offering one-of-a-kind fun for the entire family, there’s nothing better than this epic festival. Take a look:
For over 30 years, the city of Natchez has been hosting the Great Mississippi River Balloon Race.
