Cherry Blossom Festival in Macon, Georgia, USA. Known as the Pinkest Party on Earth, Macon’s Cherry Blossom Festival was tantamount to prior festivals! I’d never been able to attend, so I just had to go to this year’s festival!
My schedule allowed me to go only one day this year and it was well worth it. I love cherry pie and cherry ice cream! So it was cherry bliss at the ribbon cutting ceremony to open the Third Street Park Festivities. Cherries and Cream Ice Cream was served, compliments of Pet Dairies.
Entertainment was abundant with live bands featured daily and nightly, presented by Pizza Hut on the CocaCola Entertainment Stage. Here is a preview:
Although there are many Cherry Blossom Festivals across the U.S., Macon’s is a little different. Macon celebrates the Yoshina Cherry Tree, which is seldom seen in the South. The festival was started in 1982 and has now become on of the Top 20 events in the South.
You must make plans to attend next year’s festival. In the meantime, learn more at www.cherryblossom.com
