Natchez Balloon Festival photo scene on new Visit Mississippi cab in London

International travelers may spot a photo of the Natchez Balloon Festival on the wrap of a new Visit Mississippi taxi cab.

Director of Tourism for Visit Mississippi Rochelle Hicks shared a photo of Mississippi Development Authority Director Bill Cork and his wife Nina getting ready to take a spin in the new taxi cab in London, England on her LinkedIn page on Sunday.

The taxi cab features a scene familiar to those in the rural city of Natchez, with an iconic aerial view of the Mississippi River, Natchez water tower and hot air balloons.

“(Visit Mississippi) has several with scenes from all over the state but that’s ours,” Interim Director of Visit Natchez Lynsey Gilbert confirmed.

This marks the 39th year of the hot air balloon festival in Natchez, scheduled to take place on Oct. 18 and 19.
