Looking for things to do in the CSRA this week? Here are the highlights for Monday, October 26 through Sunday, November 1, 2026, across Columbia County, Augusta-Richmond County and North Augusta: Augusta’s free Fright & Delight nights at community centers all week (finale Fri. Oct. 30 at May Park), Hocus Pocus at SRP Park’s Dugout Theater (Thu. Oct. 29), Harlem’s Trick or Treat on Main (Thu. Oct. 29), Rodney Carrington in Evans and The Rocky Horror Picture Show at the Imperial (both Fri. Oct. 30, 7:30 p.m.), and a Star Wars–themed Trunk or Treat at every Augusta-Richmond County library branch on Halloween Saturday. Sunday, Nov. 1, is a free day at the Morris Museum of Art, and it’s the day daylight saving time ends.
Here’s the thing. Halloween week in the CSRA has more going on than any family can do. Without a plan, you end up scrolling at 5 p.m. and missing the good stuff. You don’t need every event. You need the right one or two for your crew.
That’s where we come in. The Fairey Team lives in Columbia County and plays all over the CSRA. We read the city, county and venue calendars every week so you can just pick and go.
Plans change, so check the organizer’s page before you head out. All times are Eastern. Prefer to stay close to home? See our Evans and Columbia County roundup for every library program and local event.
