2025 Augusta Harvest Festival


The 2025 Annual Augusta Harvest Festival was held on Friday and Saturday, September 19 and 20, in Augusta. Both evenings featured dinners offering gourmet dining and local wine at Honey Bee Vineyards and Schultz Haus Vineyards.

The dinners were ticketed events and proceeds benefited the Greater Augusta Chamber of Commerce.
 
On Saturday morning, the Harvest Festival parade started the day, featuring entries from Daniel Boone Elementary, Ebenezer UCC, the Augusta Fire Department, and various cars, tractors, and other entries. After the parade, many entries participated in the Car Show.

One of the festival's main attractions each year is the annual Pie Contest, which had many delicious entries this year. The first-place pies were auctioned off to the highest bidders. See the results below. Let's just say this year it was a Cavanaugh Pie Contest. 

The crowd enjoyed live music by The Texas Giants and paulO Trio. The kids played on the bounce house, enjoyed free pony rides, and other activities. 

The Greater Augusta Chamber of Commerce sincerely thanks everyone who participated in the dinners, parade, car show, and pie contest, and everyone who attended the 2025 Augusta Harvest Festival.
