Watch Night 2024: A Taste of Gullah History, Culture, and Food

Come join us at the Lincolnville Museum and Cultural Center for a night filled with the rich history, vibrant culture, and delicious food of the Gullah Geechee people.  

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 follow by a reception of traditional Low Country fare. Join us for an evening of heritage that includes festive food, libations and music.

Attendees are invited to don their favorite African attire!
