We expect around 150 juried Arts in the Heart Artists.  Our five Stages of non-stop entertainment include the Global Stage on the Augusta Common with cultural music and dance along with popular music into the evening.  A Jazz Stage offers Jazz, Blues, and Roots performances. This year the Jazz stage will be indoors! The  Soul Suite Stage will also be indoors and feature poetry, storytelling, acoustic music, Soul, spoken word, and improv.

The Family Stage returns with performances that appealed to children and families. And of course our dynamic Community Stage will be back featuring Augusta’s local talent. International food booths will be available with the wonderful array of cultural cuisine. Our popular Family Area, Young Artists Markets, Authors Lounge and Artzilla – live painting by local artists returns as well.

This festival is produced each year by the Greater Augusta Arts Council. The Festival is a rain or shine event. Handicap access restrooms will be noted on the Festival map. Scooter and Wheelchair ramps over powerlines and hoses.
