AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – The Arts in the Heart of Augusta Festival will be returning to Broad Street due to the Telfair Street construction schedule, the Greater Arts Council announced Monday.

The decision to move back was made after the road construction schedule for Telfair Street was announced last week.

The Telfair Street construction would have impacted the Festival site, the council says. Road construction on Broad Street, which had initially prompted the relocation, will now start in 2025.

The Greater Arts of Augusta Council also announced the headlining performers for the 2024 Arts in the Heart festival.

Grammy Nominated Jazz performer Georgia Muldrow will be performing Friday, September 20 at 7 p.m. on the Jazz Stage.  Her “Overload” album was nominated for a 2020 Grammy.

The Festival will feature platinum selling Austin alternative-rock band Fastball on the Global Stage at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, September 21. Fastball chart-topping hits include “The Way” and “Out Of My Head.”

The festival will feature over 150 juried Fine Arts and Crafts artists this year, with artists coming from all over the United States. Five stages of non-stop entertainment include everything from hip hop to jazz to rock. This year, Augusta will be featured as a Music City.

The large Family Area is packed with interactive children’s activities, street performers, public art, and a Young Artists Market. Atlanta puppeteer Lee ‘That Puppet Guy’ Bryan will be a featured performance on the Family Stage.

Artzilla returns with local artists painting live all weekend.

The authors’ lounge also returns and will feature Georgia authors and book signings.

Advanced $15 Festival badges are available online at ArtsintheHeart.com Children 10 and under are free. Admission is good for the entire weekend. Badges at the gate are $20. Pets and coolers are not allowed in the Festival. Lawn chairs are welcomed. Arts in the Heart of Augusta is a rain or shine event.

Wayne Gretzky’s daughter Paulina Gretzky just gave fans some summer outfit inspo in such a fabulous way.

On July 11, Paulina gave us all the inspiration for our beachy summer wardrobe, all in one single Instagram photo. She shared the Instagram post with the caption reading, “𝗌𝖺𝗇 𝗋𝗈𝗊𝗎𝖾,𝗌𝗉𝖺𝗂𝗇.”

You can see the photo HERE!

In the photo, we see Paulina looking gorgeous as she models a look from Retrofete. She donned the Avra Knit top, which is a bandeau top with a mustard-palm-tree pattern over a white background. She also matched it with the Petra knit short, with the same pattern; along with a tan bag, gold jewelry, and brown sandals. (We also get an adorable snapshot of an orange tabby cat!)

But seriously, this fit is the perfect summer outfit because not only is it intricate (and compliments her colors beautifully), but it’s the perfect medium between a regular outfit and a bikini.

In the interview with the outlet, she talked about how societal pressures used to bring her down, but after some introspection, she realized she does love herself.

“I was stuck in this, ‘What is Paulina Gretzky going to do?’ But like, I don’t always know and it’s OK to not know—not many of us do—but at the same time, I like who I am—I love who I am—and I’m ready to venture out now,” she said. “Positive energy, surmounting roadblocks and just thinking about How to Be Happy, especially for women. I feel like women can be our own harshest critics and everyone wants to tear us apart, but sometimes we do it to each other. I’ve learned over time that it’s OK to be upset. Let’s just process it in a healthy way.”
