Downtown Macon has become a must-visit holiday destination thanks to the beloved Macon Christmas Light Extravaganza, which draws increasing numbers of visitors each year to experience the magic of millions of sparkling lights. This December 5-14, 2025, the festive atmosphere will grow even brighter as Cherry Street Plaza welcomes the first-ever Marché de Noel: Macon Christmas Market, a European-inspired holiday experience designed to complement the dazzling light display.
This inaugural market takes place for ten consecutive days before Christmas in coordination with Macon's Christmas Light Extravaganza, which welcomes hundreds of thousands of visitors to historic Downtown Macon each year! Visit Macon–with support of many community organizations including Bibb Distributing Company, the Community Foundation of Middle Georgia, the Peyton Anderson Foundation, Prince Manufacturing, Fall Line Brewing Co. and NewTown Macon–have enlisted the help of Fall Line Brewing Co.’s event-operations expertise, and Munich Event Group, creators of the renowned Atlanta and Roswell Christmas Markets to build this offering. The Macon Christmas Market will bring its own unique blend of authentic holiday charm to Middle Georgia.
Now a global phenomenon, the holiday market tradition traces its roots to medieval Europe and its first documented appearance in Vienna in 1296. In the 17th & 18th centuries, the markets spread through Europe as a widely adopted holiday tradition. Macon's sister city relationship with Mâcon, France, will heavily influence Macon’s blend of French, Bavarian, and German traditions, and promises a truly memorable place for visiting with family and friends year after year.
“Yes, we'll be serving up the traditional Gluhwein, have festive music, a bier garden, and live performances playing a blend of traditional Christmas songs and international sounds!” says Visit Macon’s Vice-President & Chief Marketing Officer, Marisa Rodgers. “We look forward to having a unique array of handcrafted products and providing a variety of European savories and sweets for purchase.
“This market will allow the community to come together for a bit of shopping, drinking, socializing, and celebrating after a long year.
“And, this year is just the beginning! We will debut more & more traditions each year!”
