Lafayette Days

There is only one place that can claim to be where the Marquis de Lafayette first set foot in America. That was in Georgetown County, South Carolina, on June 13, 1777. The Georgetown County 250 Committee is honored to help coordinate, along with SC250 and The American Friends of Lafayette, what will be a globally recognized event honoring the beginning of  Lafayette’s journey into the annals of American History.

Save the dates to celebrate Lafayette Days, June 12-13, 2027. The primary events will include the Lafayette Colonial Ball, a reenactment of Lafayette’s landing on the shores of Winyah Bay, and a visit with Major Benjamin Huger and family, followed by a parade and the unveiling of the refurbished Lafayette Bust and Highway marker, to which world and national dignitaries are invited.

More details to be confirmed.
