Don't let the name of the Macon Little Theatre fool you. This impressive compendium of theatrical talent has won accolades and raves in a big way. The entertainment venue has been nationally recognized as one of the preeminent community theaters in the country. It also has the distinction of being Georgia's oldest and largest community theater. Macon audiences are entertained by the regular schedule of dramas, comedies, and seasonal productions that are presented throughout the year.
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!
Echoes of the Civil War still resound in Macon at the historically-rich Cannonball House and Museum. See where an actual cannonball plummeted through the exterior of a white-columned Greek Revival-styled home that eventually stood as a symbol of the nation's struggle against itself. The house is directly adjacent to the Macon Confederate Museum that features actual weapons used in the Civil War, photos, artifacts, uniforms, and crystal and china pieces from the period.
