In 1996 the City of Augusta consolidated with Richmond County to form Augusta-Richmond County. Augusta is Georgia's second oldest, second largest city and is located about 150 miles east of Atlanta. Along with several other Georgia and South Carolina counties, the region is known as the Central Savannah River Area (CSRA).
Augusta is perhaps best known as home of the Masters Golf Tournament held the first full week in April. The area offers many other events to include the Arts in the Heart Festival, Westobou Festival and Augusta's Greek & Hispanic Festivals. First Fridays are a monthly downtown event with live music and art exhibitions. Augusta Riverwalk is located directly on the banks of the Savannah River and hosts 4th of July Fireworks, St. Patrick's Day celebrations, and more. From March through November, the Augusta Market brings local farmers and artisans to the Riverwalk each Saturday morning.
