After a possible record-breaking first weekend of the Cherry Blossom Festival, weekend two kicks the fun into high gear!
Friday, Boot Scootin' Boogie and Casino Night takes place at the Macon City Auditorium. There will be live music by the Loose Screws and casino games galore. It's BYOPB (that's Bring Your Own Picnic Basket)! Purchase tickets online (at www.cherryblossom.com), at the Cherry Blossom Gift Shop or at the door. Also on Friday, the 3rd Annual Party With a Purpose - featuring Christian-recording artists Jars of Clay - is already sold out!
Saturday, the Mulberry Street Arts & Crafts Festival, along with the International Food Fair take over the streets of downtown Macon from 10:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. Saturday evening, check out the Street Party! Admission is free from 4:30 - 5:30 p.m. and after that, it's $10.00 at the gate. The country stage gets fired up with Pat Green and Cowboy Troy, while over on the R&B stage, James Brown's Soul Generals and Tone Loc lay down the groove.
Sunday, check out the Heart of GA Pipes and Drums at Vineville Methodist Church at 4:00 p.m. And bid farewell to another year of the Pinkest Party on Earth at the festival finale at Wesleyan College beginning at 5:00 p.m.
Alright, this one's for the ladies - and the men who love them! The Grand Opera House presents Menopause: The Musical. It's a hilarious tale of four ladies who meet by chance in a lingerie store and realize they are all going through "the change." Songs include baby boomer classics (with a twist), such as "Puff, My God I'm Draggin' " and "Stayin' Awake, Stayin' Awake." Purchase tickets online at www.thegrandmacon.com or by calling (478) 301-5470.
Step back into the 19th Century as the Cannonball House present Tours By Candlelight. From Civil War reenactments, to costumed cooks, to authentic old-tyme entertainment, the historic house comes alive with the sights, smells and sounds of the past.
