Located in the church sanctuary, this year’s concert will feature the talents of the award winning Jim Hill Choir and the Mississippi Girl Choir.

Stroll the central business district of Fondren as merchants, restaurants and businesses will have extended hours with seasonal offerings, food presentations and holiday libations to get you in the gift giving spirit. This is one holiday event you do not want to miss – so join Fondren on Thursday evening, November 15, for “Fondren’s Gift of the Season” – Fondren Unwrapped!
