Natchez transforms after dark. Neighborhoods around Longwood and Melrose Estate take on new energy, new sounds, and new possibilities — and the best way to discover it is on foot, moving between venues the way locals do. Track down Under-the-Hill for the kind of night that only locals know about.
A Mississippi River bluff town with more antebellum mansions than any city in the South, layered with complex history from Natchez people to the cotton era.

Natchez is primarily visited for history and architecture, but the city takes on a different character at night. Areas near Longwood and Melrose Estate come alive after sunset, offering an experience you can't get during the day. Look for Under-the-Hill — the kind of place that daytime visitors never know existed.
The bluff-top town is walkable but hilly in places. Many mansions require a car or tour to reach. Under-the-Hill is a steep walk down from Broadway.
March through May and October through November. Spring and Fall Pilgrimages open private antebellum homes for tours. Summers are hot and humid.
