Downtown Augusta packs a lot into a few blocks. Here are easy weekend ideas, all a short drive from The Palms at Augusta.
Walk Broad Street
Broad Street is downtown's main corridor, lined with locally owned restaurants, coffee shops, and bars. Stop by the James Brown statue to honor the Godfather of Soul, who called Augusta home.
Riverwalk Augusta
Riverwalk runs along the Savannah River with walking paths, river views, and green space. It's a great spot for an evening stroll.
Museums
- Morris Museum of Art — focused on art of the American South, on the Riverwalk.
- Augusta Museum of History — the region's story, from early history to the Masters and James Brown.
Shows and festivals
The historic Imperial Theatre and the Miller Theater host concerts, comedy, and performing arts. Augusta Common, between Broad and Reynolds streets, hosts festivals and events through the year, including the Arts in the Heart of Augusta festival each September.
Across the river
Catch an Augusta GreenJackets minor-league baseball game at SRP Park in North Augusta, South Carolina, just over the river.
