Augusta Heritage Center
Augusta Heritage Center is known nationally and internationally for its activities relating to traditional music, folklife and folk arts of many regions and cultures.
Augusta Heritage Center is best known for intensive week-long workshops that attract several hundred participants annually. Thousands more attend our public concerts, dances, and the Augusta Festival. Augusta’s full-time staff, plus volunteers, seasonal staff, and interns produce a great variety of quality classes. These world-renowned classes and the Augusta festival have brought together master artists, musicians, dancers, craftspeople, and enthusiasts of all ages.
Our year-round activities also include folklife research and documentation, the production of films and audio recordings for a national audience, and outreach programs for young people and our local community.
