Groome Transportation
GABBA recommends Groome
Transportation to all Festgoers who will be flying to the Fest.
Groome Transportation of
Georgia has been providing shuttle service between Macon, Warner Robins,
Robins Air Force Base and Atlanta Hartsfield International Airport since

The Douglass Theatre will host all main events of GABBAfest other
than those at The Big House on Vineville Avenue throughout the weekend and at
Rose Hill Cemetery on Sunday.
H&H Restaurant
While in Macon, make sure
to visit Mama Louise at the famous H & H restaurant. Located at 807
Forsyth St across from the Medical Center. Mama will be cooking up her
down-home vittles for breakfast, lunch and dinner on Friday and Saturday
until 5 PM, but she's closed on Sunday because she's at church. Come into her kitchen and
give her a big hug for feeding our boys when they needed it the most.
Camper and RV
Accomodations
RVers might like to know that Central City Park, a stone's throw from the
Douglas, does have sites with full hook ups. If you want to post this
information, the phone number is 478-751-9282 and the contact name is
Janis Wright. You can also email your reservation requests to
Ben.Hamrick@macon.ga.us. The cost is $15.00 per night and you have to
be there before they close on Friday at 5:30pm to pay.
Camping is also available
at Lake Tobesofkee, but it is nearly 15 miles west of Macon and is not
recommended, although scenic.
