Twenty area vendors set up shop around the field selling jewelry, candles, apparel, produce, seafood and more.

​

Entertainment was also provided by a DJ.

​

Vendors say they appreciate the support from the community coming off such a tough year, and they’re thankful to Dr. King for making it all possible.

​

“The way that he has paved for us to be able to vote, for equality. There is so much uncertainty in the world, but one thing stands true: Equality belongs to everyone. And today, MLK Day, we represent that. But you know what? Every day should be MLK Day," says Bluffton business owner, Sharon Brown.

​

This was the final Gullah Market until spring.
