Cherry Blossom Festival

March 20th - 29th, 2026

From the cherry blossoms that adorn our streets and hillsides to our vibrant community, pink is more than just a color in Macon—it’s a celebration! Here we honor the beauty of the cherry blossom and the spirit of togetherness that unites us all under one, uniquely woven tapestry of pink.
