Ten years of The Creek FM. That calls for something special.

CreekFest is coming to Cherry Street on June 27th from 4PM- 9PM, and we’re celebrating with some of the best live music this city has to offer — Supper, Brother Wallace, Mike Mattison & Trash Magic, and Andy Thomas all taking the stage for one big outdoor celebration.

Ten years of community, live music, and late nights — and this is how we mark it. Open to the public. Bring everybody!

If you've seen The Jack Shealy Band live, you already know what they bring. If you haven't, this is your introduction.💜

The Jack Shealy Band has been writing songs and performing across the South for over two decades, bringing swampy slide guitar, steel guitar, and roots-driven rhythm together into something that lands somewhere between Southern soul, rock, and Americana — gritty, groovy, and completely their own.

If you haven't caught them live yet, you're missing out. 🎸🤘

The dark is calling. Rock Candy Macabre Tours are BACK — and this time, we're haunting your weeknights.🕯

This walking tour peels back the layers of Macon's history to reveal the crimes, the mysteries, and the restless spirits that still linger in the shadows. 🖤Equal parts chilling and entertaining, it's the kind of night out that has you looking over your shoulder and laughing at the same time.

Now running 6 nights a week, the Macabre tours wind through the darkness Monday through Saturday, 7PM to 8:30PM, beginning at the iconic Den.

Bring someone brave, or someone who thinks they are.👻
