Macon is hosting a blooming lovely Cherry Blossom Festival starting at the end of March.
An hour or so away from Atlanta is the enchanting city of Macon. In late March, the city annually hosts the International Cherry Blossom Festival.
Almost 350,000 Yoshino Cherry Trees bloom around the city every year, and have done since 1982. In 2020, the usual festivities were cancelled but this year things are returning in a COVID-safe way.
The Yoshino cherry trees turn Macon into a pink paradise, and it’s definitely a Georgian gem that’s worth checking out.
