Revisit the site of some of Macon's most classic performances when you step into the classic beauty of the Douglass Theater. This venue and attraction dates all the way back to the 1920s when it was an African-American movie and vaudeville hall. Later, in the 1960s, such iconic performers as Otis Redding and Ray Charles graced its impressively large stage. Amazingly, the theater is still in operation and takes great pride in maintaining its role in promoting the African-American experience in the areas of music, film and theater.

A great time brightly booms every year at Macon's International Cherry Blossom Festival, held every March. This is a city-wide celebration that lasts 10 days and brings together several popular activities for the whole family to enjoy. There are arts and crafts, hot air balloons, live music, special exhibits and lots more. And, fittingly, it all happens against the backdrop of more 300,000 Yoshino cherry trees!

Even though Lake Sinclair takes a little effort to visit, the drive to this popular outdoor aquatic attraction will please the nature lover in you as it is quite a picturesque tour of the Georgia landscape. Located in nearby Milledgeville, the lake attracts casual anglers as well as an impressive number of professional bass fisherman. Aside from offering a large population of bass, the body of water holds the distinction of being voted the cleanest lake in the state.

The strikes are plentiful–and that's a good thing–when you spend time hanging out with family and friends at Macon's Gold Cup Bowling. This is an impressive recreation venue to not only play a few frames, but to also relax in the lounge, enjoy a snack or soft drink in the concession area, or check out the latest bowling gear in the pro shop. Leagues play frequently.
