For more than a century, Pleasant Hill’s May Day celebration brought neighbors together to celebrate community, culture, and connection 🌸

This year, that tradition returned to Mattie Hubbard Park, where families enjoyed games, music, yoga, community resources, voter registration opportunities, a surprise visit from Macon singer Mike Clark Jr., and the crowning of the May Day Queen.

Thank you to RCC Mini Grant recipients Monica Miller and JaCory Marcus for helping bring this beloved tradition back to life!

NewTown Macon and Macon+Bibb County are excited to announce Phase I approval for a Recreational Trails Program grant to extend the Ocmulgee Heritage Trail through Riverside Cemetery! 🎉

This connection has been part of the Trail Master Plan - Vision Plan for years. The project will link the Riverside Cemetery Trail to a future pedestrian bridge connecting to the decommissioned GDOT bridge over the Ocmulgee River, with ADA accessibility, a boardwalk over wetlands, and protections for old-growth trees. 🥾
