Augusta Common

I have really enjoyed the candlelight jazz on Sunday evening at the commons. Believe me it is more than jazz. The atmosphere, the mature crowd has been phenomenal. Next Sunday is the the all white party, which will end this year summer festivities.

Went here for the Juneteenth Festival and had a good time. The greenspace itself is open so it isn't as pleasant when the sun is glaring down but it has nice shade on the perimeter and some benches. I think the Oglethorpe statue smack in the middle is unnecessary, but overall it is a nice space for festivals and events, etc. It is a nice touch for it to be right across from the James Brown Statue and parking wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I found a spot on the street a block away. Being that there was a good bit of vendors for the festival, I like how the street was blocked off to give more space.

Great park to host an event! Augusta sports council was super helpful in making our event happen here. Shady, access to utilities, restrooms near. Great park!
