Christmas Fest 2018

Fall meets Christmas Dawn at the circle park at Front and Washington Streets in Natchitoches.  We seasonally decorate the city, and here’s a transition.  Christmas lights are up with the fall flowers.  Behind is the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame & Northwest Louisiana History Museum, and The Pioneer Pub with draft beer and pub food in a historic bank building.
