This Festival has a special History which is summarized below.

 

Old City Flower Festival

In Macon, Georgia

The first 8 Festivals were held in the Middle of January.  The concept was to celebrate the Unity aspect of our Society here in Macon, Georgia during a time of the year when there was not much to celebrate.  Christmas was over and there was no event in January.  The Old City Focus was that the host Church had to be in Macon at least 100 years.  It was and still is promoted as an “Event of interfaith unity!”  The 2024 Festival was held the first week-end of the Cherry Blossom Festival.
