Creek Media is proud to announce CreekFest, a one-night outdoor street party celebrating the 10th anniversary of The Creek, Macon’s Americana music station turned global streaming media brand. The event will take place on Saturday, June 27, on Cherry Street in downtown Macon, bringing together live music, local flavor, and the spirit of a city that continues to shape American music.
What began as WNEX in 1945—and evolved into The Creek in 2016—has grown into a powerful storytelling platform, powered by Visit Macon, dedicated to sharing the city’s music, culture, and people with a worldwide audience. Today, The Creek streams far beyond Central Georgia, connecting listeners everywhere to the authentic sound of Macon.
“CreekFest is more than a celebration of a radio station—it’s a celebration of Macon’s living musical legacy,” said Susie Cowan, General Manager of The Creek. “For 10 years, The Creek has carried forward the stories and sounds that define this city. This event brings that mission to life in the most authentic way possible: live, in the streets, with the community.”
A Night of Music Across Two Stages:
CreekFest will feature two stages highlighting both legendary influences and the next generation of artists:
The Rookery Stage
(Cherry Street)
Celebrating the 50th anniversary of one of Macon’s most beloved restaurants,
The Rookery Stage will host an electrifying lineup to be announced.
Otis Redding Center for the Arts Stage
Just steps away, this stage will spotlight emerging talent and Macon’s future sound,
featuring the Otis Redding Foundation All Stars and additional performers to be announced.
More Than Music: CreekFest transforms downtown Macon into an immersive celebration of culture and community. Attendees can expect local food, drinks, and experiences that reflect the city’s rich heritage and vibrant creative scene.
The event also marks a milestone moment for The Creek as it continues its evolution into a 24/7 media brand—broadcasting the Macon experience through music and storytelling to audiences around the globe.
