Georgetown County prepares for inaugural Juneteenth Festival
GEORGETOWN COUNTY, S.C. (WCBD)–Georgetown County is preparing to host its first-ever Juneteenth Festival this Saturday, an all-day event honoring freedom, culture, and Black excellence. Held at the Georgetown County Library, the celebration will feature storytelling, live music, games, food vendors, and more, all designed to spotlight local Black-owned businesses and cultural traditions. 'Juneteenth is excellence, power, resilience… just a whole lot of strength in the community highlighting Black excellence,' said Whitley Snipes, owner of Nobu Wellness. One of the main attractions will be the Black Business Expo, showcasing vendors from across the county. 'It'll feature all Black-owned businesses from Georgetown County, selling their products, sharing their stories, and showcasing their excellence,' said Jo'Vonna Davis, Social Media Manager for the library. Visitors can also enjoy performances from local bands, Legend Gullah Storytellers by Ron and Natalie Daise, and a hands-on sweetgrass basket workshop led by Jennifaye Singleton. Snipes says events like this are vital to building stronger communities. 'Sure, we've got big franchises—but being local means you connect more, build real relationships, and we all grow together. That's powerful.' Organizers say the festival is not only a celebration but also a chance to learn, connect, and support one another. 'I hope folks walk away understanding what Juneteenth truly means and maybe even discover a new favorite Black-owned business to support,' said Davis. The festival runs Saturday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Georgetown County Library. It's free and open to the public. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
