Lands End festival set for this weekend

The sixth annual Lands End Woodland River Festival will be held Friday and Saturday. The festival is a community celebration of the Gullah ancestry and traditions of the people of St. Helena Island through music, storytelling, performances, crafts and food. An old-fashioned fish fry with music on the riverbanks will be held at 5 p.m. Friday. There will be gospel choirs, dancers, musicians, storytellers, health and safety exhibits, crafts and food vendors selling a variety of handmade goods and serving a "taste of Gullah" from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday. The event is free, but there is a parking fee. The Woodland beachfront property is located on Lands End Road, six miles south of Penn Center on Martin Luther King Jr. Drive on St. Helena Island.
