The Fly South Festival returns to Macon and is set to take flight on Saturday, Nov. 6, 2010, at Amerson Water Works Park.

With a new tailgate-style format, the day-long festival will feature live music headlined by The Marshall Tucker Band and food and beverage vendors surrounding the Porter Pavilion on the Ocmulgee River.

This year’s Fly South Festival is being presented by Friends of the Ocmulgee Trail. Last year, Bragg Jam Festival organizers launched the Fly South Festival to create a fall signature live music event for Macon. Bragg Jam’s continued partnership with the Ocmulgee Heritage Trail has brought the Friends of the Ocmulgee Trail to continue this new concert tradition.
