The natural beauty of St. Francisville’s rolling hills, bluffs and ridges, pristine historic homes, quaint boutiques and top-notch eateries is like a “Gilmore Girls” Stars Hollow fever-dream. For our three-day escape to the charming town, my husband Mark and I had hiking in nearby Tunica Hills and biking downtown on our agenda, but rainy weather changed our plans.

Allons a Mardi Gras en Louisiane - Y'all: Carnival's Mixed Cultural Roots

Jan 6, 2025 | louisianalife.com | Errol Laborde

At its simplest, Carnival is all about parties. At its most sociological, Carnival is a season with deep cultural roots. Carnival in Louisiana is a celebration with three different strains of evolution: One is the New Orleans style Carnival which is, by far, the largest; another is the Acadian Courir du Mardi Gras and the third is the Mardi Gras Indians. Just about everywhere in the state, or the continent, where there are Mardi Gras celebrations, they most often borrow from the New Orleans style.

Since then, the river changed course and Vicksburg reinvented itself with new businesses and casinos. But its history remains in the Vicksburg National Military Park and the city’s beautiful historic buildings.
