Dear Future Sponsor: 

 

We are pleased to offer your organization an opportunity to support the annual Gullah Geechee Festival on August 29 - 31, 2025. The festival will take place in the Nationally Historic Atlantic Beach, South Carolina. We will celebrate the Gullah Geechee culture in the last Black-owned beach in America and a historic hub of beach music and dance. 

 

We anticipate an outpouring of interest from the southeast region of the United States. The event is a collaboration between the Town of Atlantic Beach, the Gullah Geechee Chamber of Commerce, and the federal Gullah Geechee Cultural Heritage Corridor Commission, which includes Atlantic Beach to its featured communities from Jacksonville, North Carolina, to Jacksonville, Florida. The committee also is supported by Coastal Carolina University’s Joyner Institute for Gullah and African Diaspora Studies. 

 

To celebrate the history of The Black Pearl, Atlantic Beach, we have scheduled a full lineup of events of economic development, food, music, receptions, and arts and crafts. 

 

Below, you will find information on sponsorship levels that will enable your business to become a sponsor member of the Atlantic Beach’s Gullah Geechee culture and heritage. We look forward to your ongoing support of the Gullah Geechee Festival, not only to residents and visitors, but to all South Carolinians as the last Black-owned beach town in the United States. 

 

Sincerely, 

Mayor Pro Tem CAPT (ret) John David
