Christmas by Candlelight Links Three Jackson Museums by Free Shuttle
Christmas by Candlelight connects the Old Capitol Museum and the Two Mississippi Museums in one evening, with free shuttles for the holiday-themed tour. The format makes this a multi-museum visit rather than a program centered on a published lineup of performances or timed sessions.
A visit spanning three museums
The event is described as an annual tour of the Old Capitol Museum and the Two Mississippi Museums. Organizers say free shuttles are provided, but the listings do not lay out the route, stop order or shuttle frequency.
No specific exhibits, performances or other on-site activities are identified. If you are planning around a particular museum or need to know how much time to allow at each stop, contact the Mississippi Department of Archives & History before the event.

One evening, with logistics to confirm
The published event window is 5 to 8 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 5. No separate session times or timed museum stops are given, so the three-hour window is the only schedule detail available.
The Visit Jackson listing gives 222 North St. as the location, but does not identify it as a shuttle pickup point. It also does not explain whether advance reservations are needed; the state department lists a phone number for questions.
