Macon, Georgia, hums with a rich musical legacy that still resonates today. From Otis Redding and Little Richard to The Allman Brothers, this small Southern city helped shape the sound of rock and soul. Visitors can feel that energy at music museums, studios, and venues sprinkled throughout downtown, which has recently seen a revitalization bringing together seven art galleries, 30+ entertainment spots, more than 50 restaurants, and charming shops. Dining ranges from classic soul food at H&H Restaurant, serving since 1959, to upscale Southern fare at Dove Tail, giving every visitor a true taste of Macon. Downtown Macon comes alive with signature events, from the International Cherry Blossom Festival each March, celebrating thousands of pink blooms and local treats like Yoshi Pilsner, to the Main Street Christmas Light Extravaganza, where a million lights twinkle to music performed by the Macon Pops. For outdoor explorers, Ocmulgee Mounds National Historic Park preserves over 17,000 years of history along the Ocmulgee River and will soon become Georgia’s first National Park. Macon also celebrates diversity with programs supporting Black-owned businesses and honoring Muscogee (Creek) Nation heritage, giving visitors a vibrant, inclusive experience. #americasfavoritesmalltowns
