Celebrating Local Talent
As part of the 10th Annual Juneteenth Augusta Celebration, we are proud to introduce the Juneteenth Augusta Community Performer Spotlight, an opportunity for the community to help showcase talented performers from across the CSRA.
The Juneteenth Augusta Festival showcases the incredible talent and cultural energy that exists throughout our community and beyond. Each year, the celebration features a dynamic lineup of performers representing a variety of musical styles, artistic expression, and live entertainment. From high-energy performances to community spotlight artists, the Juneteenth Augusta stage is designed to celebrate culture, creativity, and the spirit of freedom. Explore this year’s lineup and join us as we celebrate the sounds and voices that help bring the Juneteenth Augusta Celebration to life.
This year’s 10th Anniversary lineup reflects both legacy and momentum.

Interested in performing at the region’s premier Juneteenth celebration? Submit your performance application for review. All submissions are evaluated based on quality, alignment, and programming needs.
Community Performer Spotlight – Take the Juneteenth Stage
This initiative invites the public to nominate individuals or groups who represent the creativity, culture, and energy of our region. After nominations close, the Juneteenth Augusta Entertainment Committee will review submissions and select a group of finalists. The community will then vote to determine two performers who will take the stage at the Juneteenth Augusta Festival on June 19, 2026 at the Augusta Exchange Fairgrounds.
Selected performers will:
- Perform live at the 10th Annual Juneteenth Augusta Festival
- Be featured in official Juneteenth Augusta promotional campaigns
- Receive community recognition as part of this milestone celebration
Whether you are a performer ready to share your talent or someone who knows a talented individual or group that deserves the spotlight, we encourage you to participate.
