All Things Cherry Celebration With 70 Recipes, Crafts and More
Celebrate the International Cherry Blossom Festival with All Things Cherry! It’s a celebration with 70 recipes, crafts and more, all about cherries!
The International Cherry Blossom Festival takes place each Spring in Macon, Ga. Listed as one of the Top 20 Events in the South, Top 50 Events in the U.S., and Top 100 Events in North America, the Cherry Blossom Festival is a 10 day event which celebrates the more than 300,000 Yoshino Cherry trees in the Macon area. Although the Yoshino doesn’t produce the tasty little fruit, I want to celebrate by sharing this collection of Cherry recipes and crafts with you.

I love cherries! One of my favorite fruits to eat by itself and use it other recipes. 🙂 One of these days I’m gonna have to head up to GA and see that festival!

What an amazing collection! My mouth is watering!!!
Okay so my top 3 fave flavors are Cherry, Lemon and Raspberry…so you had me at Cherry!

Wow, I’m in cherry heaven! What a great roundup!! I miss seeing the cherry trees blossom in Macon. Now you’ve got me thinking about all things Macon, another one of my old stomping grounds. 🙂 I’m so glad you’re showcasing all the great things to do in middle GA.
Alli, the next time you head south to visit your parents, you should stop by. I don’t actually live in Macon, haven’t for about 22 years but we are just outside of Macon. That would be fun.
