Things To Do in Augusta This Weekend: August 14-August 16

Augusta's entertainment calendar delivers plenty of variety in the week ahead. Country legend Ronnie McDowell's "Red, White, and Blue Tour" kicks off on Friday, followed by Fatal Distraction Burlesque's horror-inspired "Clown Town" on Saturday night. Rumours ATL brings the timeless sound of Fleetwood Mac to the Miller Theater that same evening. Rounding out the weekend are a drag showcase, a wrestling event, and a live concert, while the midweek lineup offers board games, wine pairings, and open mic performances.

Country music veteran Ronnie McDowell brings his "Red, White, and Blue Tour" to the Imperial Theatre. Jeff Bates and Paula Carlson, formerly of Highway 101, join him on stage. McDowell, who's known for hits such as "Older Women," "Personally," and "Unchained Melody," has charted more than 30 top 40 country songs. The tour, which kicked off in Gadsden, Alabama, is set to span more than 70 cities across 25 states.

Fatal Distraction Burlesque presents "Clown Town," an 18-and-up horror-tinged cabaret show blending alternative burlesque with body horror, dark comedy, and boundary-pushing performance art. Expect smeared greasepaint, unsettling choreography, and shocking theatrical reveals. The lineup includes Appalachian strongman Rick StrongBack, traveling in from the Carolinas to showcase feats of strength. Organizers describe the show as a twisted departure from traditional circus and cabaret fare, built for audiences seeking dark theatricality, lust, and laughter in equal measure.

Rumours ATL, a tribute to Fleetwood Mac, is coming to the Miller Theater. With over a decade of honing the legendary Fleetwood Mac sound, the band has released chart-topping hits including "Rhiannon," "Songbird," and "Go Your Own Way." Every member looks the part of a Fleetwood Mac member and delivers musical brilliance and a mysterious stage presence that will have audiences coming back for more. Organizers call the show both nostalgic and delightfully fresh, promising a trip through timeless tunes that will be loved by devoted fans and new listeners alike.

Augusta's weekend lineup brings live music, drag entertainment, and wrestling. Friday night offers a choice between an intimate concert and a late-night drag showcase featuring a "RuPaul's Drag Race" star. Saturday shifts gears entirely with an afternoon of professional wrestling action at a local brewery. Whatever the preference, the city has an entertainment option to match.

Augusta's midweek lineup offers something for every mood. Board game enthusiasts can settle in with a cold pint, live music fans can catch a Tuesday night show, and pasta lovers can pair their favorite dish with a glass of wine. The week wraps up with an open mic night for local performers to take the stage.
