The 28th Annual Original Gullah Festival of South Carolina was held over this past Memorial Day weekend at Technical College of the Lowcountry. The event has grown since 1986 and attracts thousands of people to the area who see it as a time of reunion and fun with family and friends. There was a lot of wonderful food, music and a celebration of a great culture.
