There are moments in travel that feel almost impossible to recreate, the kind of experiences that exist for only a few fleeting days before disappearing again for another year. Each spring, the city of Macon transforms into one of those rare places as hundreds of thousands of Yoshino cherry trees burst into bloom, washing the city in shades of soft pink and white. Streets, parks, churches, and historic neighborhoods become part of a breathtaking springtime display that has earned Macon the title of the “Cherry Blossom Capital of the World.”
Rockport Tours invites you to experience this unforgettable season on Georgia in Bloom, a carefully crafted journey through the heart of Georgia filled with Southern hospitality, historic landmarks, legendary music history, and the beauty of spring at its finest.
Because the cherry blossoms bloom according to nature’s schedule, no one can guarantee the exact peak each year. However, these travel dates have been specifically selected to provide the very best opportunity to experience Macon during its most beautiful bloom period.
Your journey begins with an overnight stay in Baton Rouge before continuing east into Georgia’s springtime paradise. Upon arrival in Macon, you’ll experience the energy and beauty of the famous Cherry Blossom Festival, where the city comes alive with blooming trees, entertainment, local vendors, music, and festive Southern charm.
Throughout your stay, you’ll discover the many sides of Macon. A guided historic and cherry blossom tour introduces you to the city’s grand homes, picturesque streets, and fascinating past. You’ll step inside the magnificent St. Joseph Catholic Church, whose soaring architecture and stained glass evoke the beauty of Europe’s great cathedrals, and enjoy a special organ concert inside Mulberry Street United Methodist Church surrounded by elaborate floral displays.
