Expanded Market Opens on April 16 with New Vendors and Musicians

The Augusta Market begins its 2011 season on Saturday, April 16 at the 8th Street Plaza at Reynolds Street and the Riverwalk.  Last year’s market saw innovative direction through the public/private partnership between the Downtown Development Authority (DDA) and a local group of entrepreneurs, strengthening and expanding the market. “The DDA successfully incubated the idea of a privately run market, in keeping with its mission, released a self-sustaining enterprise to the private sector,” said Brooke Buxton.
