The annual Sweetgrass Festival in Mount Pleasant is designed to promote and bring attention to the contributions of the Gullah people’s history, culture, traditions and their sweetgrass basket art form that originated in Mount Pleasant and continues to exist in our town and surrounding communities today.

Offering free admission, entertainment and activities, the Sweetgrass Festival also provides an opportunity for local basket makers to showcase, promote and market their sweetgrass merchandise to locals as well as cultural tourists from around the country.

**There are a TON of scammers claiming to be event organizers and trying to get you to pay them in the event comments. The only way to apply is by sending in the application (Link in discussion) and then by paying the Town of Mount Pleasant if you are accepted by email.
