The Augusta Common

I’m usually in the Common for the yearly Augusta Pride festival. I’m always amazed how they pull off such a great event each year. I know the Augusta Pride President personally and I see how hard she works to put on a great event. It is to be witnessed at least once in your life. The event is lively and full of entertainment!!! There are several vendors there with great products and yummy foods and drinks!!! The only downside about it is that is in the beginning of Summer when the sun is in full blaze, but they do put up a tent so you can cool off under but this year there were no chairs so you had to bring your own or sit on the ground, which was wet!!! There are also tons of other events held here throughout the year. So you can find a number of reasons to come here. They also have free WIFI here so that’s another great reason to come here!!!

The Augusta Common is one of the best venues this city has to offer. Many of us love being outdoors and this is one of the great places that can be turned into almost any kind of event. I was recently here to enjoy the Candlelight Jazz Series, which has been happening every Sunday since the Summer began. The Augusta Common has lush grass for lawn chairs, benches and a paved area around the perimeter for vendors. I’ve seen several organizations use this a meeting space for big and small events. This is where we have First Friday events, assemble for the Miracle Mile Breast Cancer Walk, Arts in the Heart, Border Bash and countless other events. It is located centrally and after the event you visit the Augusta Common for is over, you’re close to local eateries and shopping. It’s also close to the Riverwalk.
