Celebrating Gullah Heritage at the 22nd Annual Sweetgrass Festival

Celebrating Gullah Heritage at the 22nd Annual Sweetgrass Festival

MOUNT PLEASANT, SC (July 25) — Host Brian Cleary welcomes Gullah Geechee expert and event pioneer Michael Allen to discuss the upcoming 22nd Annual Sweetgrass Festival at Memorial Waterfront Park.

Michael highlights the deep historical significance of sweetgrass baskets—from their representation on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. to their status as the official craft of South Carolina. He shares how his family business, Tastee Treat, preserves Gullah heritage through custom Lowcountry seasonings, jellies, and traditional flavors like red rice.

The episode touches on major community preservation efforts, including the Gullah Geechee Cultural Heritage Corridor, the International African American Museum, and the historic Long Point African American School in Snowden. Attendees can look forward to a free, family-friendly event packed with live education, sweetgrass basket-making demonstrations, culture-rich seminars, and authentic Gullah cuisine.
