2025 Visit Vicksburg Tourism Grant Program
This grant provides funding to organizations and projects that enhance Vicksburg's appeal as a tourist destination, supporting local initiatives that promote tourism and boost the economy.
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. Community members can tune into the Team Vicksburg show for weekly updates every Wednesday on Newstalk 1490 and FM 107.7 or on VTV. To submit an event for inclusion in the calendar, locals are encouraged to complete an event submission form and email it to media@visitvicksburg.com.
For 2025, Visit Vicksburg has opened its Tourism Grant Program to support initiatives that align with its tourism objectives. The program offers funding to organizations or projects that enhance the appeal of Vicksburg as a tourist destination. Interested applicants can find the grant application, guidelines, and report templates on the Visit Vicksburg website. For grant assistance, Natalie Clanton is available at natalie@visitvicksburg.com.
Additionally, a list of upcoming riverboat docking dates is regularly updated and accessible through Visit Vicksburg’s website, with the latest information as of November 6, 2024.
