The Original Gullah Festival of Beaufort, SC was established by native Beaufortonians in 1986 and incorporated in 1987. The annual 3-day festival celebration reclaims for future generations the beauty and history of the Gullah culture, a compelling mix of West African legacy and the American Lowcountry experience. We use music, song, dance, food, arts, and crafts to entertain, educate, and celebrate the rich Gullah culture that lives in the Sea Islands.
