|  | Cherry Blossom FestivalMacon, Georgia stages a Cherry Blossom Festival each spring to celebrate the blossoming of the 275,000 Yoshino cherry trees donated to the city by long-time resident William Fickling. Highlights include a sidewalk chalk-painting competition and a hot-air balloon rally.The Cherry Blossom Festival is particularly associated with Japanese culture and, like Washington DC, Macon's cherry-tree plantings developed as a result of exchanges between the US and Japan. Visitors can stroll among the blooming trees, or take a ride in a horse-drawn carriage.
More information on the programme is posted on the Cherry Blossom Festival website as soon as it's available. |
