Join us for a taste of Gullah Geechee history, culture, and food!

Our annual Watch Night program is an educational and cultural gathering that recognizes the tradition of “watching” for news of the Emancipation Proclamation being signed by President Abraham Lincoln. This year, we share the interconnections of Gullah Geechee and African people through foodways and culture. A screening of the 1991 documentary Family Across the Sea will be followed by a reception of traditional Low Country fare. Join us for an evening of heritage that includes festive food, libations, and music. Transmission Media will be providing DJ services throughout the evening.

When: 6:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m., Friday, December 27th 2024

Where: Lincolnville Museum and Cultural Center, 102 M.L. King Avenue, St. Augustine, FL 32084
