Macon’s Cherry Blossom Festival is known for turning the city into a sea of pink—and one of its most charming traditions is the Cherry Blossom Tea and Hat Party, held on March 27, 2025 at the Georgia Sports Hall of Fame.
Hosted by The Mentors Project of Bibb County, this annual event brings together elegance, community spirit, and a splash of friendly competition. Guests arrived dressed in pink, ready to sip tea, enjoy sweet treats, and compete in the beloved Pink Hat Contest—a runway-style showcase of creativity and flair. From feathered fascinators to blooming masterpieces, the hats were as delightful as the conversations.
The event not only added a touch of grace and gentility to the Cherry Blossom Festival but also served a greater purpose: bringing awareness to the life-changing mentorship efforts of The Mentors Project, which helps guide Bibb County students toward success.
If you missed this year’s event, don’t worry—the Cherry Blossom Tea and Hat Party is a highlight you’ll want to mark on your calendar for next spring. And if you’re looking for a way to make a difference in a young person’s life, consider supporting or volunteering with The Mentors Project.
