MACON, Ga. — A day of wet weather could be on deck, but plenty of Macon Saturday events are still on! The 32nd Annual Ocmulgee Indigenous Celebration, Picnic in the Park and the state pickleball championship will all move forward Saturday, but some have extra plans in place just in case.

When: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday
Rain plans: The celebration is on as planned, according to park staff.
Picnic in the Park
