There are few places where you can take a spin on the Ferris wheel high above the Mississippi River and watch the sun set over the Louisiana landscape—or enjoy eating cotton candy while barges and boats carry their loads up and down Old Man River.

Ardenland, which has brought numerous events to Mississippi River city over the years, has brought back the carnival to Natchez, which begins today at 5 p.m.
