sidneys salons
Over the years, Historic Macon has hosted a series of lectures and talks known as Sidney’s Salons in honor of the famed poet Sidney Lanier.
Here is our Spring schedule. All Salons begin with a reception and light hors o’devours at 5:30, and author presentations begin at 6:00 unless otherwise stated. You can learn more about our Salons, and find links to register, HERE. All of our Salons are free and open to the public.
