Macon City Auditorium

415 First St., Macon, GA 31201

Built in 1925 and listed in the National Register of Historic Places, the Macon City Auditorium is the perfect location for concerts, plays, large assemblies, banquets and receptions or any other event in need of a grandiose, but intimate setting. Its monumental assembly hall, circular in plan, is about the size of the Pantheon in Rome, and its unique copper dome is reportedly the largest in the world. Adding even more to its splendor and stately architecture is the Doric-style limestone colonnade which surrounds three sides of the building at the balcony level. On the inside, the Great Hall seats 2,688 total - 1,700 on the main floor and 988 in a cantilevered balcony. Over the stage, a breathtaking mural by Don Carlos Dubois and Wilbur Kurtz depicts Macon's history from DeSoto's visit in 1540 to WWI in great artistic detail.
