Both family and adult trolley rides will also make a stop at the Duff Green Mansion, where families can enjoy hot chocolate. For the adult tour, a festive libation will also be offered.
In addition to the beverages, Nasif said Duff Green Mansion owner Harley Caldwell always has something planned for her visitors.
“Last year, one night, she (Caldwell) had a singer there singing Christmas carols,” Nasif said.
The Vicksburg Holiday Lights Trolley Tours will kick off Friday, Dec. 12. Tours will also be offered Saturday, Dec. 13, Sunday, Dec. 14, Thursday, Dec. 18, and Saturday, Dec. 20. Trolley boarding will take place at the Brick Street Market, 1102 Washington St., and participants must arrive at least 30 minutes before tours begin. Tickets are $22 for the 5:30 p.m. family tour and $27 for the 7:30 p.m. adult tour and are available at Buy Tickets – Vicksburg Holiday Lights Trolley Tour – Historic Vicksburg Mississippi.
Tours will include Chambers Street, the Glenwood Circle area, parts of Drummond and Cherry streets, and notable sights like Washington Street, churches and historic homes.
For those living along the trolley route, Nasif is encouraging homeowners to get out and decorate, since there will be a neighborhood decorating contest.
“The winning neighborhood will receive a $200 prize, as well as a sign for bragging rights,” Nasif said.
