Things To Do in Augusta This Weekend: February 20 – February 22

From arena rock legends and intimate acoustic sets to sweeping symphonic drama, this week's lineup hits every note. Big-name concerts share the spotlight with classical masterworks, local artistry, and community-driven events, offering plenty of ways to fill both weekend nights and laid-back weeknights with music, creativity, and high-energy fun across the region.

The legendary Styx Live in Concert delivers an electrifying show drawn from more than five decades of arena-shaking hits. Like a perfectly paced symphony, a Styx set balances progressive grandeur, blue-collar grit, and fist-pumping rock anthems. From the sweeping drama of “The Grand Illusion” to the defiant drive of “Blue Collar Man,” the soaring ambition of “Come Sail Away,” and the relentless charge of “Renegade,” the band taps an endless catalog of sound and style—immersing audiences in a powerful, sing-along-ready rock experience.

Music at The Morris: T. Hardy Morris is a free concert in the Music at The Morris series at the Morris Museum of Art. It features T. Hardy Morris, an Augusta-native and veteran of the Athens, Georgia music scene, performing songs from his latest solo album, Artificial Tears, alongside other material. The series presents intimate, live performances that blend music from both artistic and musical standpoints. They also offer the public an opportunity to experience original, soulful songwriting in a welcoming museum environment.

Augusta Symphony presents Tragic Love, part of the Piedmont Augusta Symphony Series, celebrating timeless masterworks from history's greatest composers to today. This program explores sweeping symphonic stories of heartbreak and passion, from the real-life romance of Brahms and Clara Schumann to the immortal drama of Romeo and Juliet. Under the direction of Music Director Dirk Meyer and with guest pianist Anna Shelest, this concert features emotionally moving & technically impressive interpretations of some of the greatest works about love and loss in history.

From high-energy action to live music and community spirit, the lineup offers something for every kind of weekend mood. Whether craving adrenaline, a must-see concert, or a meaningful way to get moving for a cause, the options span entertainment, culture, and connection.

Weeknights don't have to feel routine. These midweek picks lean into low-pressure fun and creative energy—perfect for easing out of the workday, trying something hands-on, or letting live music and friendly competition reset the rhythm before the weekend arrives.
