FAQ

General FAQs

What’s it all about?
The Augusta Handmade Fair is a semi-annual fundraiser held by Redemption Church to 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 event is focused on showcasing local creatives. The juried event showcases an array of mediums that include art, soaps, jewelry, pottery, clothing, paper goods, accessories, knits, photography, home decor, and so much more! Aside from the exciting shopping, we offer a fun and relaxed vibe, giveaways, local treats, and an all around good time.

Where is it located? Where can I park?
We are located in beautiful Downtown Augusta. The event is primarily in the Doris Building but our wonderful neighbors at Tip Top Taps, The JB Whites Building, and New Moon Cafe allow us to spill over into their areas. The address is 930 Broad Street Augusta, GA. Parking downtown on a Friday night can be a little tricky but usually if you circle a couple times you can find a space within a very short walking distance
