Arts in the Heart of Augusta Festival is September 20 – 22 in downtown Augusta, Georgia. The festival will encompass the Augusta Common and the 600, 700, 800 and 900 Blocks of Broad Street. This year there will be even more artists, more food, and more fun! With over 150 juried Fine Arts and Crafts artists this year, artists are coming from all over the United States to be a part of our award-winning festival.
Five stages of non-stop entertainment include everything from hip hop to jazz to rock. This year we’re very excited to be featuring Augusta as a Music City. We will be featuring platinum selling alt-rock band Fastball (The Way and Out of My Head) on the Global Stage and Grammy Nominated Georgia Muldrow on the Jazz Stage. Music is a dynamic part of Arts in the Heart and that will be especially true this year.
The global food village is famous for its authentic taste of cultural cuisines and with the return of the Pacific Islanders and Jamacia, will have even more options this year with 21 food booths. The large Family Area is packed with interactive children’s activities, street performers, public art, and a Young Artists Market. Artzilla returns with local artists painting live all weekend. The Authors Lounge also returns and will feature Georgia authors and book signings. Pets and coolers are not allowed in the Festival. Lawn chairs are welcomed. Arts in the Heart of Augusta is a rain or shine event.
