Bragg Jam
July
braggjam.org | @braggjam
Born as a memorial to local musicians Brax and Tate Bragg,
Bragg Jam has evolved into a music and arts festival that draws
artists to venues throughout Downtown Macon. The annual
Concert Crawl is a highlight of summer in Macon.
"My favorite seasonal event would have to be the Cherry Blossom
Festival because of how pretty it is. There is an entire week full
of events: the downtown Macon area is transformed. The cherry
blossoms bloom, and everything turns pink—which is a perfect
segway into the spring months that are to come. My friends and I go
to at least one day of the festival every year, and we walk around,
take pictures, and eat at the various food trucks. There is a whole
fair and parade that we also go to!"
