The market in Augusta is an impressive sight, with a historic looking street and a path through to the riverwalk being lined with various merchants. It was less of a food source than I'd expected; there were a couple of farmer's stands but that certainly was not the majority. Among the cooked food, the vegetarian-friendliness wasn't high and there were limited options for me.They were advertising some kind of event for sex trafficking awareness and many people were walking through on a nice day.

It is very hot in the summer time, IMO. I sweat easily but the breeze down near the savannah river is amazing. This market has something for everyone. Amazing food, handmade items such as soaps, jewelry, apparel, and cups. They have a lot of fresh vegetables and fruits locally grown. The flowers from the florists are beautiful. Very family friendly and a great way to spend any Saturday. They are open weekly March- November.

I absolutely love coming here on Saturday mornings. I even taken the littles and the doggo. I wish I could purchase everything I see when I go. There's so much variety, and so many things to eat, it's impossible to have everything. Believe me, I keep trying. Fresh fruits and veggies, fresh cut flowers, fried fish, shrimp & grits, lumpia, pancit. There's even a truck for my granddog. So if you want to do something besides eat (like me), you can peruse the jewelry, body care, crystals, candles. Like seriously, you name it, it's out there. A few vendors accept cash only (actually I can only remember one "cash only" sign). So a few actual dollars on hand, just in case. There is a paid parking lot right next to the market, but there's also lots of free parking. You may have to walk a block or two, but count it as a nice Saturday stroll to the market. OH!! I almost forgot...dress to try to stay cool. A hat, sunglasses & sunscreen could be useful

So cute and packed in a good way! A lot of variety in food and goodies. Such good vibes and excited for more vendors to expand along the river. Flower vendors had beautiful flowers and food was amazing! I will definitely be coming back next and every weekend!

Love going to the Augusta market on Saturday. It's fun going by yourself or with friends and family. The market is kid friendly. Some days they even have a petting zoo. There's so many options for food and really diverse choices (Korean, barbecue, shrimp and grits, hot dogs, street tacos, fillipeno). I usually eat and shop and pick up some extra for leftovers. I also love supporting local farmers and getting my produce. The berries, fruits and veggies are fresh and great quality. There is also no shortage of desserts from cakes, pies, cheesecake you name it. There are also stands selling various crafts (welcome signs and wreaths), goodies like sauces, kettle corn, etc.

Wow! So happy the Augusta Market has grown so much and diversified! When I started coming a few years ago, it was produce, a few crafters, and mostly Southern cuisine type foods you could get for lunch. Now it's bustling with a variety of food from all over the world with local families using their home recipes to serve the community: Colombian, Indian, Puerto Rican, Korean, Phillipino, Southern cuisine, Vietnamese, and more. I love going each week to try something new! It's great seeing so many people supporting local businesses and trying foods they never would have before. Fruits and vegetables are fresh and grown locally, prices are comparable to super markets. Everyone is so humble here! Love it and highly recommend when in Augusta!

A place worth visiting. This street market is full of life and options. There is food, jewelries, drinks, stuff, laughter and music. An overall good vibe persists in this market. Stroll through the vendors, listen to their pitches, show some support, get some snacks. Once shopping is done, go to the Riverwalk at the end. Enjoy live music or take a stroll and a few pics. Parking available right next to the market. Definitely recommend if you are visiting Augusta. Carpe Diem good people.

Must have the authentic barbacoa tacos while you're there! Great place for a walk connected to the river walk. The Vietnamese coffee is also great!
The Augusta Market is one of the best things you can do in Augusta. It's held near the Savannah River, so it makes for a beautiful scenic walk. The local market only opens on Saturday which is unfortunate because it is such a fun place to visit. There are different tents/stands with an array of local products. Some of the businesses are known in the area, others are only known if you visit the market. I was surprised by the variety of food options - there were Filipino, Colombian, Korean, American, and others. A lot of the places accepted credit card for payment, but there were some that only accepted cash. So bring some cash with you! There was also a small petting "zoo" of farm animals. It was quite cute and a great experience for small children. There was live music which made the atmosphere more enjoyable. This place is all outdoors with no obvious bathrooms. It is also a great area to bring up your dogs to. It is a great place to visit on a beautiful Saturday morning/afternoon.

I love a good Farmer's Market, and I must say that my hometown really makes me proud with this one. I stopped by after returning home to Augusta to give a community lecture on Diabetes at my father's family's church and came the Saturday Market with my Mom to sample what there there to offer and from the amazing jams, fresh vegetables, unique jewelry options, and delicious dessert all from local establishments and much more, I was so pleased with the selection and was delighted to support. The pictures I was able to snap were not even able to capture the selection and the experience. I believe they have closed shop for the season, but when they return, please do go, support your local artisans and farmers, and relish the experience.

Just a quick update. The Augusta Market really isn't a super-duper hardcore farmers market. It's a variety place with so many different cuisines and specialties. The live music, the excellent crowd, the beauty of the river just beyond the market? It's wonderful. And it's dog-friendly! I go and see so many cool puppers! You gotta love it.

The Saturday Market 8-2 is an awesome place for everyone! There's food, crafts, fresh flowers and home grown straight from the garden veggies and fresh fruit. You can even bring your pets and there's also a full water spout for kids to get soaked up and have a good time. FYI....If you're hungry don't eat breakfast at home just wait till you arrive and you will definitely find something tasty for your palate....

Five stars for the flowers!! We moved to town a few weeks ago and were excited to visit the farmer's market. I was astounded to find flowers this beautiful at the prices for which they offer them. The market also boasts a modest number of stands with fresh produce, baked goods, meats and other local fare (sauces, salsas, dips, etc). It's such a fun way to start a Saturday morning.
