Enjoy live events
Many Macon restaurants and venues host events throughout the
year, such as weekly trivia and live music. Some of my favorite
places to play trivia are Jag's Pizzeria, Amici's, and Just Tap'd.
Head over solo, or grab your friends. Either way, it's a fun way
to unwind and socialize after class. Another cool place to hang
out is the Society Garden. Located on Ingleside Avenue, this
family and dog-friendly outdoor venue hosts local and regional
live music every weekend. It's a unique place to enjoy some
great tunes and good company. Another live music spot
to check out is the Wheelhouse Rooftop above Kudzu
Seafood Company, where local bands and amazing
views of downtown create an iconic atmosphere.
Step into nature
Many Mercer students and members of
the Macon community love to spend time
outdoors. Whether you're hosting a friend's
birthday picnic, walking the scenic trails, or
tubing down the Ocmulgee River, Amerson
River Park is perfect for anyone who wants
to get out into nature. Lake Tobesofkee
is another popular outdoor location for
Mercer students, offering activities such as
swimming, fishing, camping, sailing, and so
much more.
"In my free time, I go rock climbing at Macon Rocks. My
friends and I go there several times a week. There are a couple
of hidden, really interesting hiking spots in Macon. My favorite
is Browns Mount because it overlooks the whole city."
