Description

Visit Vicksburg’s mission is to promote tourism in the Vicksburg/Warren County area, positioning Vicksburg as a top destination for overnight visitors. This focus on tourism aims to boost local sales and lodging tax revenues while sustaining local businesses and employment. The organization offers resources to stay updated on local events and provides opportunities for community engagement as tourism ambassadors.

Each month, Visit Vicksburg shares a Calendar of Events newsletter and poster featuring upcoming activities.
