About this year’s Festival

Arts in the Heart of Augusta Festival

Arts in the Heart of Augusta Festival is September 15 – 17 in downtown Augusta. With over 100,000 attendees, the festival has become the must-see, must-hear, must-dine festival. We have over 130 juried Fine Arts and Crafts artists and five stages of non-stop entertainment with everything from hip hop to jazz to rock. The Global Stage featured performances include a diverse selection of cultural music and dance.

New performances for 2023 include Comedian Mario Tory, Ryan Abel and Friends present Georgia Rock and Roll, Wayne Hoey Big Band featuring Russell Joel Brown and Joe Stevenson presents Southeastern Songwriters with John Krueger, Shaun Piazzaz and more. The global food village will tempt lovers of great international food with 19 authentic cuisine booths. It’s a culinary delight that can’t be missed!

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 and this year the new Authors Lounge will feature Georgia authors and book signings. We can’t wait to see you in September!
