We're thrilled to announce that USA TODAY has included the Cherry Blossom Festival as one of "10Best: Southern Cultural Festivals" in a special feature as part of USA TODAY TRAVELS.  

Included in the list are internationally renowed events such as the Kentucky Derbyand Memphis in May, as well as Southern favorites like the Spoleto Festival, Dogwood Arts Festival, and more.  

It is a great honor for the Festival to be included among these amazing events and organizations. Without the dedicated support of our staff, board of directors, sponsors, partners, volunteers, and the thousands of guests who visit Macon and its pink splendor and beauty each year, recognition like this would not be possible.  

You can read the full article here. I would like to encourage you to share this news with your friends and family, as well as visit ourwebsite to stay in tune with our constantly evolving schedule of events for the 2015 Festival and beyond.  

Keep "thinking pink", sharing in the love, beauty, and international friendship, and working to make a difference!
