About Myrtle Beach Events

Home of Shag (the dance, not the carpet) and perennially voted one of the top vacation spots in the US by travel and tourism publications, Myrtle Beach has been associated with fun in the sun since the heydays of motor lodges and seafood buffets. While being a vacation hotspot has both perks and prices, Myrtle Beach has changed with the times and now offers vacationers far more than seven days of body surfing and putt-putt. The annual events calendar perfectly reflects the Strand's well-roundedness by serving up a broad platter of activities. For those who can't resist the thrill of competition, there are golf and fishing tournaments, pro baseball games, road races and even competitive eating contests. Other events and festivals prominently feature live music, arts and crafts, shopping and, of course, chances to sample fresh local seafood! Enjoy all you can while visiting the Grand Strand – there's plenty on the table! -- Kelly Sigmon, Senior Editor
