Getting there
Nearest airport CKB.
How do I get to Augusta Festival & Craft Fair?
By car
Most people drive to Augusta Festival & Craft Fair. The nearest major airport is CKB, and from there it is a straightforward drive to the venue. Check current road and traffic conditions before you set off, and see parking below.
By train
No direct passenger rail to the venue was found. Drive, fly in, or use a shuttle instead.
By bus & public transit
No scheduled intercity bus or public transit route to the venue was found. Drive, fly in, or use a shuttle instead.
Taxi & rideshare
North Central West Virginia Airport (CKB, in Bridgeport near Clarksburg) sits about 53 driving miles / ~1h12m northwest of Elkins City Park via US-33/US-119. Uber and Lyft both operate in Clarksburg and in Elkins, so an airport pickup is possible, but this is rural North-Central WV: driver density is thin, wait times and surge are common, and a return ride from Elkins back to the airport is not guaranteed on demand. There is no scheduled airport shuttle or public-transit connection between CKB and Elkins (Country Roads Transit, the local bus operator, serves only Randolph/Upshur counties and does not reach the airport).
Book / infoTaxis and rideshare such as Uber and Lyft can be limited near the venue, especially late at night or in rural areas. Agree a pickup point and time in advance and keep a backup plan.
🅿 Parking
On site parking available. Cost Free. The Augusta Festival is a free daytime event (10am-5pm) held in Elkins City Park, with attendees using the park's own lots plus free on-street parking in the surrounding downtown Elkins grid; no paid or prepaid parking platform (ParkMobile/SpotHero/etc.) is used. No official festival parking map is published for the Augusta Festival specifically (Elkins does publish detailed parking/detour maps for its larger Mountain State Forest Festival, a separate October event). Arrive early on festival day as the park lots fill.

Airbnb & private camping
Elkins and the surrounding Randolph County / Monongahela National Forest area have a moderate supply of cabins and short-term rentals aimed at outdoor tourism. The Augusta Festival is a one-day event and does not by itself drive citywide sellouts, but summer is peak season for the Elkins area and the town's larger events (e.g., the October Forest Festival) do surge lodging, book ahead for a festival weekend.
