First Friday in Downtown Augusta
5:00 – 9:00 PM from 7th to 12th Street

On the First Friday of each month, a family-friendly celebration is held in downtown Augusta on Artists' Row; from Seventh Street to Twelfth Street. Galleries and studios remain open on those evenings to debut new works. Arts and craft vendors set up to sell their wares, and music is performed in various outdoor locations. We invite you to visit on First Friday and enjoy our music, food, museums, antiques and attractions. First Friday is a FREE event!

In order to participate in First Friday, ALL participants, non-profits and artists, must coordinate their space directly with the individual business owners along Artists’ Row.

All participants must contact and reach an agreement with a business owner who is willing to let him/her set up in front of their open, and operating, business on the evening of the First Friday event. Only those vendors producing their own arts and crafts will be accepted for participation along Broad Street. Failure to follow the policy listed above may result in termination of participation in First Friday events.

Please note: Due to limited spaces, inclusion in each month’s event is not guaranteed.
