Riceboro RiceFest

The City of Riceboro celebrates its annual rice festival with a schedule of events during the second week in November. Nearly 5,000 people gather in the city to enjoy events that showcase the food, music, art, and history of the Gullah/Geechee people, whose ancestors once worked on rice plantations in Liberty County. The first RiceFest was held in downtown Riceboro in 2007 to commemorate the legacy of the Gullah Geechee people who have influenced the eastern coast of the United States from North Carolina to northern Florida through music, language, and food. In 2017, the RiceFest coordinator partnered with Sparrow Communications to develop branding and programming for the annual RiceFest
