The Gullah Convening 20th Anniversary Celebration

Twenty Years of Legacy. One Unforgettable Evening.

The Gullah Geechee Cultural Heritage Corridor invites you to the 3rd Annual Gullah Convening, a formal black-tie gala marking 20 years of preserving, protecting, and celebrating the living culture of the Gullah Geechee people.

📅 Saturday, December 19 | 5–9 PM
📍 The Grand Charleston, 81 Mary Street, Charleston, SC

For two decades, the Corridor has stood with the communities, families, and culture bearers who have kept Gullah Geechee language, land, and traditions alive from North Carolina to Florida. This milestone evening honors that work and the people who made it possible.

Join us for live music, Gullah storytelling, and a seated dinner rooted in Gullah Geechee foodways, from shrimp and rice fritters to okra perloo and Charleston chewies. Twenty years in, the work is far from finished. Raise a glass to what we’ve built together, and help us invest in the next twenty.

✨ Black-tie or Cultural Elegance attire required.
🎟️ All proceeds support preservation, education, and community resilience across the Corridor.
