Join us for the Original Gullah Festival in Beaufort SC
May 23rd – 25th 2025

During the last weekend of May, The Original Gullah Festival celebrates and honors history and heritage at downtown Beaufort, South Carolina’s Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park through cultural experiences, food, and fun, and we’re going!

The Gullah Festival was established in 1986 to honor and recreate the atmosphere of a celebration called Decoration Day, now named Memorial Day. As a result, every year during the festival weekend, there is a Decoration Day Play to commemorate the historic event.

Interested? Let us know!

To be clear, this is an event we are attending for fun and inspiration. Others organize it each year, so this time we get to just relax and be there. Dance Alchemy is not collecting money or arranging things. All transportation, housing, and meals are on our own.
