Tear It Up Downtown

Augusta is always open

Downtown Augusta is the heart of the city. And, like any other urban core, it is the place people go for events, shopping, food and fun. Our entertainment venues, restaurants and retailers are operating as normal despite the disruptive improvements happening here.

So, while the landscape of Broad is being overhauled, you can still tear it up downtown.
