The BEST Things to Do on your Mississippi Getaways This Fall
Cooler weather and brilliant fall foliage make Vicksburg a top choice for autumn Mississippi getaways. Known for its deep-rooted culinary traditions and historic charm, Vicksburg invites visitors to slow down and savor the season. Whether you’re drawn to the architecture, festivals, or scenic drives, this riverside city captures the essence of fall in the South.
One of the best ways to begin your fall Mississippi getaway is with a drive along the Natchez Trace Parkway. This 444-mile scenic route stretches through Mississippi, Alabama, and Tennessee, offering vibrant fall foliage and peaceful forest trails. The full Natchez Trace Parkway takes about three days to drive, but from Vicksburg, you can easily hop on for a shorter scenic segment that captures the fall colors and historic atmosphere without committing to the entire route. Join the parkway at Mississippi Highway 27, near Milepost 67. Notable stops along the route include the Sunken Trace, Mount Locust, and Rocky Springs, each offering a glimpse into the region’s rich history and natural beauty.
If you’re wondering what to do in Vicksburg this fall during your Mississippi getaway, there’s no shortage of seasonal events and activities. Attend the Inaugural Hipstoric Arts Festival, part of Vicksburg’s Bicentennial celebration, or enjoy family-friendly fun at the Bicentennial Fall Family Fair. Browse unique finds at the Old Courthouse Fall Flea Market, where over 150 vendors showcase handmade goods, food, and crafts on the historic courthouse grounds.
Dive deeper into local history by visiting the Old Courthouse Museum or join Night at the Museum, a guided event featuring costumed interpreters sharing Vicksburg’s past. For something spooky, tour the McRaven Home, considered one of the most haunted homes in Mississippi. This “time capsule of the South” features three architectural styles, Frontier, Empire, and Greek Revival, built across different eras.
Still looking for what to do in Vicksburg? Explore the Mississippi Blues Trail, with six designated stops in the city celebrating Vicksburg’s role in American music history. Admire the city’s eleven historic tour homes, stroll along the Great River Road National Scenic Byway, or stop in at the Jesse Brent Lower Mississippi River Museum to learn about life along the river. Finally, cap off your day with a great meal and sweeping views of the fall foliage along the Mississippi River from 10 South Rooftop Bar & Grill.
