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.
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.
Fans of live music always make plans to be a part of the annual Bragg Jam held every last weekend in July. This is a memorial event to Macon brothers Braxx and Tate Bragg and the festival extends over two days that are packed with some incredible live music. These cool concerts feature some of the best local, regional and national acts. In addition to the live music, Bragg Jam attendees will enjoy children's events, arts and crafts, and the highly popular Ocmulgee Adventure Race. Proceeds from this event go to aid the Ocmulgee Heritage Trail.
