3 Days of Gullah Culture
Gullah (pronounced gul-lah) refers to the unique culture, language, traditions, and heritage of the Gullah Geechee people, whose ancestors were enslaved Africans brought to the Lowcountry in areas of North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. It’s a living tradition, carried forward through its language, traditions, and creative expression.
Gullah culture and language were preserved over time through the historical and social isolation of this area, and they continue to flourish. Today, we honor this history and the Gullah Geechee people who continue to call Hilton Head Island home. Curious to take a closer look at Gullah culture and identity more deeply? Discover a three-day Gullah-inspired itinerary on Hilton Head Island.
