Visit Macon, Where Soul Lives
Join us in “the Heart of Georgia!" Macon is an easily accessible travel hub, positioned at the cross-section of two major interstates and just 80 miles South of an International airport. Nowhere else can you host a reception at the former home of the famed Allman Brothers Band, a banquet at the largest state sports museum in the U.S. or a conference at one of the most advanced antebellum buildings in the country.
But it is possible in Macon, which offers more than 10 meeting venues and 20 hotels with meeting space.
Whether you're looking for a meeting destination for 20 or 10,000, you'll find Macon's unique venues and conference facilities ready to meet your expectations with great space and quality service, whatever your budget.
What truly sets Macon apart as a premier meeting destination is how your guests can explore different attractions, shops, restaurants and more! Hike through the nation's next national park and enter North America's only reconstructed earth lodge at the Ocmulgee Mounds National Historical Park or take in the Southeast's largest collection of African-American art, history and culture at the Tubman Museum. Stroll along the Ocmulgee River or downtown’s wide boulevards, lined with art galleries, boutiques, restaurants, entertainment venues, and architecture as diverse as the people who built it.
Macon is home to many legendary musical artists such as Otis Redding, Little Richard, the Allman Brothers Band and new voices, like country singer Jason Aldean. Macon’s nightlife choices give you many options to choose from, so decide which Macon venue amplifies your evening. Order the beverage of your choice at one of our microbreweries, and sit in on open mic night, catching the next rising star to come out of this musical city.
Sample some of our favorite soul food or try signature dishes from our vibrant local restaurants. Macon is a town where a “night out” is fine dining, drinks, and dancing, but also a moonlit walk among the architectural masterpieces of our historic neighborhoods, and a Broadway-level performance at one of our landmark theatres like the Grand Opera House.
Don’t forget, your guests can download for free the “Tour Macon” mobile app and find self-guided tours that cover a wide range of Macon’s history like the Macon Music Trail, Macon Black Heritage Trail, or the Macon Bacon Trail!

Today, the Big House has been restored as an Allman Brothers Band Museum, showcasing guitars and other musical instruments, clothing, photos, posters, gold records and a vast collection of memorabilia. The collection of band memorabilia and artifacts is the most extensive in the world.
The Big House is more than a museum, it is an experience showing what the house looked and felt like when the band lived there.
