Gullah, Geechee and More
With
strong ties to West Africa, the
Gullah culture is still an integral part of
the lives of the native islanders living on the coastal islands of South
Carolina and Georgia. The Gullah culture, a blend of West African, European
and Native American cultures, became the lifestyle of West African slaves
isolated from the mainland. 300 years later, amongst a developed resort
area, many of the traditions are still practiced today. Gullah is a rich and
colorful culture celebrated through foods, crafts and religious practices.
The Gullah culture is kept alive through vivid storytelling in the native
tongue of Gullah. Through passionate prayers, sermons and tales, the Gullah
people remember their past and look toward the future preservation of their
cultures which is distinguished by the crafts of sweet grass basket sewing,
quilt making and fish net weaving. Join us for several Festivals that
promote the rich Gullah heritage of the Sea Islands. In February we have the
Native Islander Gullah Celebration on Hilton Head Island. In May over
Memorial Day weekend we have the Gullah Festival in Beaufort, South
Carolina. Also in Beaufort, we celebrate
Penn Center’s Heritage Day Festival
the first weekend in November. In Charleston we have the
Moja Arts Festival
in October. Our tour destinations packages include Charleston, Beaufort, Daufuskie Island, and Savannah, Georgia.
