This week's event lineup will include lots of live music, a storytelling event in Rosa Parks Square/Grant's Lounge, and a chance to make a house fit for a fairy at Macon's The Rose Room. If you are a fan of punk music, a concert will be held at Fresh Produce Records on Tuesday. The following are just a few of the more interesting (and often free) things to do this week in the heart of Georgia.

TUESDAY, March 10th
>> A Walk in the Park from Storytellers Macon at Rosa Parks Square and Grant’s Lounge (5:30-6:30 p.m.)
This Storytellers Macon event is a bit different than the rest, starting at the newly renovated Rosa Parks Square at 5:30 p.m. for a one hour “storytelling walk” before the normal programming at Grant’s Lounge, courtesy of Reimagining the Civic Commons initiative for Public Spaces Week. During the walk, attendees will get a chance to learn more about their Middle Georgia friends and neighbors. Afterward, at historic Grant’s Lounge, featured storyteller Margaret Peth will tell a true story, along with others brave enough to sign up. Peth is the co-lead of the Reimagining the Civic Commons Initiative/Operations Manager of the Macon-Bibb Urban Development Authority, and she will share her excitement for public spaces, according to Storytellers Macon. A Walk in the Park is free and open to the public.
