It’s festival time in Macon, Cherry Blossom Capital of the World

by The 100 Companies

Called the Pinkest Party on Earth, the 40th International Cherry Blossom Festival kicks off March 18. The 10-day festival celebrates the city’s 350,000+ Yoshino cherry trees first brought to the city by the local realtor, William A. Fickling Sr.

The festival is packed with events that include a road race, nightly concerts, golf tournament, bed race, A Killer ’80s Prom, dock dogs competition and wiener dog race. You can also get cherry blossoms painted on your car, attend a cherry blossom ball and go on amusement rides.

The festival concludes with a concert by Macon Pops and hot air balloon rides.
