Nature lovers enjoy the freedom of the outdoors. They love it even more when they spend time at an attraction as beautiful as the Ocmulgee Heritage Trail, too! This winding trail features some of Macon's most beautiful natural surroundings as well as unusual views of some of the most famous sites in the city. This hiking and biking trail also welcomes causal walkers and stretches out comfortably over the course of its .9-miles.
Macon's Cox Capitol Theatre possesses an impressive cachet of classic style. Originally built in 1916, this is the place where area audiences first experienced movies that featured sound, then known as “talkies.” Things have progressed quite impressively here, as the entertainment venue still screens some of today's most acclaimed art films and import titles with the help of state of the art sound and projection equipment. But movies aren't the only attraction here, as live music, touring acts and more are always on the ever-busy marquee.
The arrival of Christmas brings with it many traditions. Trimming the tree, singing carols, buying presents and attending parties are all part of the fun. But another longstanding tradition at the end of the year is to attend the performance of The Nutcracker. This breathtaking presentation combines Tchaikovsky's magical score with stunning scenery and a graceful ballet. Make sure to get your tickets early, as this performance regularly sells out.
