Best Bet: Great Balls of Fire

by Kelly Leahy

July 02, 2009

If your child is afraid of loud noises, I feel for you this weekend, I really do. The biggest thing going on this weekend is without a doubt, Go 4th on the River. The "Dueling Barges" have earned fifth place in the nation's "must see" fireworks extravaganzas. That says a lot for our little town.

Most of the events and free music take place down by the French Market and the Riverwalk but for a more local experience, grab a picnic dinner and head up to the Fly to catch the show.

Then again, if you want to treat yourself, book a spot for the family on the Steamboat Natchez ($65 for adults; $30 for children ages 6-12, and $15 for children 2-5) the price includes includes a "picnic style dinner" of ribs, chicken, and various salads and slaws. There is also a Kids Korner with hot dogs and hamburgers.

Don't forget, the Feret Market is this Saturday as well in case you are looking for something during daylight hours.

Have fun! Be safe and Happy 4th!
