The first Cultural Day Festival took place on Sapelo Island in 1995! Since then, the festival has welcomed thousands of visitors from near and far to experience the culture, history, and traditions of Georgia’s last intact island-based Geechee Gullah community.

Each year, descendants and visitors gather to celebrate and learn about the traditions passed down through generations, many of which connect us to our West African ancestors. From call-and-response performances and sweetgrass basket weaving to quilting and smoked mullet, Cultural Day continues to showcase the traditions that remain an important part of our community today.

Here’s a look back at Cultural Day 2012!

Join us on Saturday, October 17, 2026, from 10 AM to 3 PM as we continue this tradition. Celebrate with us, learn about our heritage, and support the community working to preserve it for future generations.
