The Gullah Festival 2025 is an annual cultural event that celebrates the Gullah people and their unique heritage. The festival will be held on Juneteenth weekend in Beaufort, South Carolina, and will feature a variety of events, including live music, dancing, food, and crafts.
The Gullah people are descendants of enslaved Africans who were brought to the Sea Islands of South Carolina and Georgia in the 18th and 19th centuries. They developed a unique culture that is a blend of African and American influences. The Gullah language, which is still spoken by some Gullah people today, is a Creole language that is based on English but has many African words and grammatical features.
