Things To Do in Augusta This Weekend: August 21-August 23

Augusta and the surrounding area have a packed weekend ahead, from a financial literacy conference to a costumed cult-classic tribute. The Family, Finances, and Fitness Conference brings expert speakers together in Augusta, the CSRA Adult Field Day offers grown-ups a chance to play, and fans of the offbeat can catch the Rocky Horror Luau Show. Additional listings round out the weekend before a fresh set of events arrives next week.

Monica Baker, CEO and founder of IWMG LLC, will host the Family, Finances, and Fitness Conference at Hilton Garden Inn Augusta. The event, now in its third year, opens with a panel discussion titled "Families and Financial Matters." A later session includes a financial bootcamp focused on money management for young adults aged 17 and older. Speakers include Jevertus Burnett, CEO of Pathfinder Wealth Group; therapist Monique Rendles; and fitness coaches Jackie and Patrick Dennis, among others.

Keepin It Jazzie will host the CSRA Adult Field Day, an event for ages 21 and older. Attendees will be placed on teams for relay races, water challenges, and other classic field day games; no athletic skill is required. The day will also include music, food, local vendors, and prizes. Organizers describe the goal as creating a space for adults to unplug and connect with others in the community.

Misfit Asylum & Murder House presents a liveRocky Horrorluau tribute. A hula pre-show and costume contest will precede the main performance. The outdoor show is rated R and features adult themes, so organizers are urging viewer discretion. No props are allowed, though respectful audience callbacks are encouraged. Organizers advise attendees to arrive early, since seating is first come, first served, and to wear comfortable costumes given the outdoor setting.

This weekend brings a mix of music and culture to the Central Savannah River Area. Late-night music lovers can catch an independent showcase downtown, while families can celebrate Indian culture and community at an annual gathering in Evans. Sunday offers a quieter option with a live performance in a museum auditorium setting overlooking the Savannah River.

Augusta's calendar offers plenty for those looking to fill their week. Board game enthusiasts can settle in with a cold brew, while hula dancers will bring island flair to an outdoor park setting. Whether attendees are after a laid-back evening or something more lively, this week's lineup has options across the region.
