Join us at the Lincolnville Museum and Cultural Center for Watch Night 2024 … a Taste of Gullah History, Culture, and Food!  An evening of heritage that includes festive food, libations, and music.

When: Friday, December 27, 2024 — 6:00pm-9:00pm

About Watch Night

In September 1862, President Abraham Lincoln sparked a surge of anticipation by releasing his preliminary Emancipation Proclamation. The order put southern states on notice to surrender, threatening, if they did not, to free all who were in bondage on January 1, 1863.

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.

Transmission Media will be providing DJ services throughout the evening.

Cost:  $50.00 per person
