Augusta Festival

From Augusta Festival Website:

The 2015 Augusta Festival Juried Craft Fair will be held Saturday, August 8, 2015, from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. in Elkins City Park, Elkins, West Virginia. It is part of the Augusta Festival, which runs from Friday through Sunday. On Saturday, in addition to the Craft Fair, the Augusta Festival celebrates Appalachian heritage arts and folk life with live music, dancing, workshops, demonstrations and childrens activities. After the craft fair closes, there will be an evening concert in the Harper-McNeeley Auditorium of Myles Center for the Arts.

The Augusta Festival is organized by the Augusta Heritage Center of Davis & Elkins College, an organization dedicated to the preservation of traditional folkways. The Festival is the culminating event of a 5-week summer workshop series, and is an annual highlight of Augustas summer programs.

The location of the Augusta Festival Juried Craft Fair is Elkins City Park, a wooded site with pavilions, picnic tables, and a playground. Although we are located in the mountains, the park itself is level. Due to the locations of trees throughout the park, most booth locations will alternate between shade and sun at different times of day. The park is adjacent to Davis & Elkins College on Sycamore Street. Attendance has been estimated as ranging from 3,000 to 5,000 people. Participants visit the Festival from the local area and around the world.
