The blossoms are at their peak during the middle of the Festival. Some prime viewing locations are Central City Park, Third Street Park, and the Fickling Farm. Yoshino Cherry Trees will be given per household to the first applicants. This year, we will give away 6500 trees from December 8 to December 9, 2000. These beautiful blossoming trees may be purchased at local nurseries.
Macon is located an hour and a half to the south of Atlanta.
