YOU'RE INVITED Macon is a burgeoning bevy of inspiration. We simply must celebrate the layers of intrigue our city exudes. What better way to do that than to bring some of the best in the design, drink, and food realms to one place for one week? We couldn’t be more excited to host guests from all over and all backgrounds in this place we are privileged to call home. We’re looking forward to joining you in celebrating tastemakers in the inspired setting of historic Macon. Cheers!

Macon

Where soul lives.

Only 70 miles south of Atlanta, Macon is a gem in middle Georgia. This is the home to the likes of Otis Redding, Little Richard, and the Allman Brothers. Musical talent continues to live as new artists emerge from this town, fostered by the Otis Redding Foundation and the Big House Museum, Home of the Allman Brothers. The history of this place is palpable. Remarkable architectural treasures such as the Hay House and homes by Neel Reid greet you at every turn. And the people who live here keep it alive and make it thrive daily. Macon is where soul lives.
