Get to a festival for some seasonal feels: There is no shortage of festivals in Macon. And, there’s one for every season. With Atlanta coming up with a population of 500k, you can escape the pack and enjoy festivals without the massive crowds or traffic. I love that! Here are some festivals to check out:
The Ocmulgee Indian Celebration (September 16-17, 2017) is one of the largest gatherings of Native Americans in the southeast with more than 200 craftsmen, dancers, storytellers, & more.
The Central Georgia Greek Festival (October 13 – 15, 2017) has live music, dancing, food, & tours of the restored Holy Cross Greek Orthodox Church.
The Macon Octoberfest (October 21) has some of Georgia’s finest craft brewed alcohol, bands with a Southern twist, and Bavarian style food all in one of the most beautiful historic parks in Georgia.
