VICKSBURG, Miss. (VDN) — Visit Vicksburg is accepting applications for its 2027 Tourism Grant Program. This program assists festivals, events, attractions and organizations that impact tourism in Warren County.
Visit Vicksburg’s mission is to encourage and promote tourism for the Vicksburg/Warren County area as well as to sell and market the attractions and experiences of Vicksburg as a premier destination for overnight visitation.
“We hope the grant program will help our partners draw more visitors to Vicksburg,” said Laura Beth Strickland, executive director. “These grants are designed to help promote those events and organizations that draw people into Vicksburg for overnight visitation. We would love to support new events and returning signature events to keep activities continuous throughout the year.”
Eligible applicants for funding include an organization/event/project whose objective is to promote Vicksburg’s tourism industry to out-of-town visitors by generating overnight travel and economic stimulus to the city. The target audience should be outside the immediate Vicksburg area (over 50- mile radius or out-of-state).
The program calls for requests for funds to be submitted by November 19, 2026, for events that fall within the Visit Vicksburg fiscal year (January 1, 2027 – December 31, 2027).
