The 44th International Cherry Blossom Festival is scheduled take place from Friday, March 20th through Sunday, March 29th. 

More than 300,000+ Yoshino cherry trees in Macon should be in bloom, making the festival live up to the nickname of the Pinkest Party on Earth.

Special events will take place during the festival at Carolyn Crayton Park (aka Central City Park) including circus performers, magic shows, animal shows, and nightly concerts in the park. 

Visitors to Carolyn Crayton Park can enjoy the musical performances for the cost of entry into the festival, which is $10 at the gate. Each year a fireworks show takes place at Carolyn Crayton Park on the last day of the festival.
