Things To Do in Augusta This Weekend: October 30-November 1
Halloween weekend in Augusta offers something for every kind of reveler, from thrill-seekers to do-gooders. The 19th Annual Black Cat Carnival brings sideshow spectacle and midway mayhem to downtown, while Dave and Boo-ster's transforms a local arcade into a haunted playground for families and grown-ups alike. For those who'd rather give back, the Rivers Alive Cleanup at Phinizy Swamp Nature Park invites volunteers to help restore local waterways. Whether the plan calls for costumes, games, or muddy boots, the holiday promises plenty of ways to celebrate.
