The Atlanta Braves are hosting a road trip. The first stop? The Macon Cherry Blossom Festival

The Braves are embarking on a tour of the southeast, kicking off the festivities at the Macon Cherry Blossom Festival.

MACON, Ga. — The Atlanta Braves are hitting the road with the "Braves Country Road Trip" and the first stop is right here at the Macon Cherry Blossom Festival. 

It's a nationwide "Road Trip" that will bring the Braves to North Carolina, Alabama and Tennessee along with some stops in Georgia as well. 

The Braves are beginning the tour March 23 at the Cherry Blossom Festival. Each stop will include an experience the team is calling "Pose at the Plate." 

They say fans will be able to "step into a replica of Truist Park and pose for their own customizable baseball card," a press release from the team said. 

They say fans will be able to get a printout and a digital copy of the baseball card they can share.

Along with handing out team swag, they say that the Atlanta Braves will engage in community service projects "at select spots," the press release said.

However, it is unclear whether the visits will include any members of the team. On the day that the team is set to visit Macon, they're playing the Tampa Bay Rays. 

We reached out to the Braves corporate communications team. They confirm no players can make it since most events are on game days. 

Here are the rest of the stops during the Braves Country Tour.
