There are just a few days left of the Cherry Blossom Festival, but there are still plenty of events to attend before we say goodbye to the “Pinkest Party.” If you like music, you’ll love these free concerts happening all week at Central City Park.

Macon’s got soul, and you can see just how much on Wednesday night. The Macon-based show band Just Friends, which has opened for artists like Charlie Wilson and Keith Sweat, will be joining forces with AJ the DJ for “An Evening of Soul” from to 6 to 9 p.m. Don’t forget your dancing shoes!
2. Jam Out in the Park
