ABOUT US
The Augusta Handmade Fair is a semi-annual fundraiser held by Redemption Church. Net proceeds benefit The Redemption Church Missions Fund, which provides funding to Sojourn Uganda, local non-profit organizations serving our community, and our partner missionaries serving with the C&MA.
The juried event is focused on showcasing regional creatives in an array of mediums, including art, home decor, apparel & accessories, pottery, bath & body, gifts, and more.
Support Local
When you shop with independent or local businesses, more money is kept within your community. Local businesses often use or buy from local service providers, farms, and companies. They cannot survive without your support. Where you shop, eat and play – all of it makes your community your home.
Be local. Buy local.
Support a Good Cause
Proceeds from our Spring & Fall events benefit The Redemption Church Missions Fund, which provides funding to Sojourn Uganda, local non-profit organizations serving our community, and our partner missionaries serving with the C&MA.

Event Reviews
I had the privilege to participate in my first Handmade Fair last fall and had a blast. It was my favorite event for the year and I made quite a few business and personal connections. The support of our local community was amazing and gave me the push I needed to power through the holiday season! Everyone on staff with AHF is so friendly and helpful, and it’s an honor to take part.
This is my favorite local market every year! It is well organized and everyone (volunteers and visitors!) are so supportive and kind! I love seeing my hometown in this light.
I have thoroughly enjoyed every time I have worked the AHF over the last several years! The energy is high, the volunteer staff is helpful, and the flow of patron traffic is always great!
I have participated in this event several times and it is one of the best, it is well attended and the shoppers are eager to buy, the helpers are always there to help unload and load. The event is well organized and run. It is an encouragement to artists and so refreshing to see so much talent and creativity.
AHF is one of the best-run shows in the area. The coordinators are friendly and quick to answer questions; and there are plenty of volunteer helpers for setup, tear-down, and all times in between. The volunteers drop by regularly and ask if you need help. The advertising allows each vendor to be in the spot light. And the variety of available items is amazing!
So happy and excited to be included in this wonderful community of makers and artists! It truly gets better every year and I always look forward to seeing the friends I made at previous events and always love making new friends and meeting new customers!
I love how much the community supports the makers at these events! I always look forward to the Handmade Fair! This was the first multi-day market that we've done that I enjoyed and I ALWAYS tell others that if they're wanting to apply to an event in Augusta that this is the one.
Every year I attend the Augusta Handmade Fair, I get a chance to meet other wonderful makers, small business owners, and supporters that are local. It's truly a wonderful feeling to experience those who LOVE supporting and believing in what we create. I love seeing fresh faces and catching up with other vendors that attended previous shows. AHF to me is the equivalent of a family reunion. As long as AHF is around, so will we.
I love seeing so much creativity in my neighborhood, and seeing my local community support each other! It really is an event that draws all parts of the CSRA downtown! I really am blown away by my fellow vendors, and love that it is 100%handmade, unlike other local events or markets.
This event speaks to my heart. Augusta is lucky to have such a lovely event showcasing the best talent the CSRA has to offer... I'm always so glad to be a part of it in some way.
The Augusta Handmade Fair will always have a special place in my heart. The community of artists it brings together is unmatched and each year there is such a great energy surrounding the event.
The Handmade Fair is run by good people doing good things downtown, who support the artist vendors.
It is wonderful to see so many great people come together for this one event. I can tell the Handmade Fair is run with love. Everything is carefully planned and driven with good intentions, it’s very refreshing to be a part of something that feels very wholesome and to make make money and meet new people at the same time. The Handmade Fair was my first event ever, and it helped me grow as an artist.
I love how local makers can come together to share their ideas and creativity with others. There is so much pride and love in watching how passionate people become in sharing their creativity through a finished product that they created with their own imagination, time, and talent. This is my absolute favorite show!!! I love that it's all handmade and everyone is so passionate about their creations. Also, Claire and all of the staff (volunteers) are absolutely the best! I do a lot of shows across the United States and this is by far the one that I look forward to the most!!!
The Handmade Fair is well organized and well publicized. There is always a great turn out and it's well worth coming to sell and shop. It is a great time for both vendors and shoppers. The food and products are good and the vibe is even better.
This market is so well run and full of the most supportive shoppers! I always enjoy this event. Great staff that are very helpful and can always be easily located. Typically have a steady flow of shoppers, including repeat customers! Event feels warm and welcoming, drawing a variety of shoppers.
