Community members are invited to share their memories of the Natchitoches Christmas Festival as part of a documentary commemorating the celebration’s 100th anniversary.

On Tuesday, August 11, community members can stop by the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame and Northwest Louisiana History Museum anytime between 12:00 and 4:00 p.m. to participate in a brief interview for the documentary.

Participants are encouraged to share a favorite Christmas Festival memory, family tradition, memorable moment or story from Christmases past. Interviews will last approximately 10 minutes and will be casual and conversational. No preparation or appointment is required, and walk-ins are welcome. A short wait may be expected depending on participation.

The collected stories will help capture the personal experiences behind generations of Natchitoches Christmas celebrations and preserve them as part of the community’s history.

Every Christmas memory is part of the story of Natchitoches, and organizers hope residents past and present will stop by and share theirs.
