A Christmas Photo Story: Downtown for the Holidays

Photos by Mirza Babic

Downtown Jackson has been filled with our community spending time together—making memories, shopping local, and celebrating the holidays in the heart of our city. Photographer Mirza Babic takes us along through his lens as he attends the Christmas Parade and then winds down with a drink at Room 208. His photos capture the simple joy of a downtown holiday evening and remind us that there are so many ways to experience this season here. Whether that’s showing up for a community event, gathering friends for a meaningful dinner, or picking up the perfect stocking stuffers from local businesses. This year, downtown has truly been a special place to be, and Mirza’s perspective reflects the warmth, connection, and togetherness that make the season feel like home.
