Rock Candy Tours

10/08/2026

Our Macabre walking tour is a Macon favorite, and this October it’s getting a special add-on. 👻

For three nights only, October 22, 23, and 29, we’re taking the tour behind the curtain at the The Piedmont Grand Opera House. You’ll still get the spooky stories and the after-dark walk through downtown, plus an exclusive look at parts of the Opera House you won’t see from your seat in the audience.

Bring your curiosity and don’t be surprised if you see something you can’t explain. 🎭

👻 Want to join us? Comment BEHIND THE CURTAIN and we’ll get you booked. See you in the dark!

With its rich history, stunning architecture and Southern charm, Macon, GA is Where Soul Lives. Find festivals and plan things to do on your Macon vacation.

Looking for something fun to do with your parents or grandparents that doesn't involve a ton of walking?

Rock Candy van lours might be exactly what you need. They get all of Macon's history and stories from a comfortable seat, AC running, with only a stop or two where anyone needs to get out and explore some venues.

Tours that are great for this:
💜Rock and Soul Riding Tour
💜The African American Experience Tour
💜Soul Sights

It's a great way to share the city with someone who has limited mobility, without anyone missing out on a thing.
