Head down to the Gullah Geechee community of Pin Point, Georgia (outside Savannah) Saturday for their 7th Annual Pin Point Seafood Festival. The rural settlement, founded by freedmen and women after the Civil War, is still owned by the descendants of the original purchasers. It was a self-sustaining community, living mainly off the water, with families of working fisherman and women. The wonderful Pin Point Heritage Museum shares the story of their community.

Festival goers must buy tickets to purchase food from venders. About 18 venders will serve food, including Pin Point originals such as Bertha’s Sunday’s Best run by descendants of Bertha Mae Godfrey who worked at Pin Point’s A.S. Varn & Son Oyster Seafood factory. Taste fried shrimp, fried fish, fried crab, smothered shrimp, salmon croquette, seafood gumbo, deviled crab, and smothered shrimp and grits.
