Welcome To Macon

“THE SONG AND SOUL OF THE SOUTH,” MACON IS GEORGIA’S FOURTH LARGEST CITY. 

Macon’s metro population is around 150,000. Not huge, but not so small, either. As a “college town” Macon is home to not only Wesleyan College, but also Mercer University, Middle Georgia State University, and Central Georgia Technical College.

A town of great heritage and tradition, Macon is located in the center of the state, about 90 miles south of Atlanta. Music lovers appreciate Macon as the place where Lena Horne, Otis Redding, 詹姆斯·布朗, “Little Richard” Penniman, and the Allman Brothers launched their careers. Our rich music history attracts several big name bands to Macon each year.

Macon is known as the “Cherry Blossom Capital of the World.” For ten days each March, our international festival features more than 500 events, including concerts, 烟花, 舞蹈, 游行, and other entertainment.

If you like to shop, our shuttle will take you to the outdoor shopping mall located just ten minutes from campus, and to nearby Target and Walmart. Within easy walking distance from campus you’ll find Starbucks, 克罗格, El草帽, and plenty of other dining and shopping options.
