The North Carolina Gullah Geechee Cultural Heritage Gala

Once again, this event promises an exquisite, Gullah Geechee-themed and inspired, four-course meal, expertly prepared by Festival Culinarian Keith Rhodes. A Gullah Geechee-themed performance by Shea Ra Nichi and The Cultural Ensemble will headline the evening along with speakers from state and local supporting organizations.

Another Gala highlight is its silent auction, which will offer an array of artworks, hand-crafted and curated items, A VIP and unique outdoor and cultural experience packages donated by Festival vendors, to be sold to the highest bidders.  A Cash Bar will be available.

NOTE: The VIP reception preceding the Gala will not be held this year. Donors, sponsors, and other notable attendees will be acknowledged during the Gala program.

The doors to the Leland Cultural Arts Center will open at 5:00pm for Gala guests. To expedite the full program at this event, dinner service at this year’s Gala will be buffet-style.

NOTE: This event has sold-out well in advance for the past four years, so get your tickets early!
