Reimagine. Celebrate. Connect.
Something worth coming back for, every month of the year.
Myrtle Beach is building a calendar of festivals, traditions and celebrations that runs all twelve months — not just the ones with sunshine. Here’s what’s coming, and when to book.
Happening first
The first four events are already in production for autumn 2026. Everything else follows through 2027.
OCTOBER 2026 · THIS FALL
Oktoberfest by the Sea
Fri–Sun, October 9–11, 2026
Steins, brats, oompah bands and a wiener dog derby — Bavaria, three blocks from the sand.
OCTOBER 2026 · THIS FALL
Boo at the Boardwalk
Two Saturdays in late October 2026
Halloween the way a beach town should do it — a trick-or-treat trail by day, a masquerade ball by night.
NOVEMBER 2026 · THIS FALL
Grand Strand Gratitude Festival
Through November 2026 · Trot on Thanksgiving morning
A Turkey Trot worth waking up for, and a free table for anyone who needs one.
DECEMBER 2026 · THIS FALL
Winter Wonderland at the Beach
Tree lighting Dec 4 · market weekends through December 2026
The walkable, oceanfront version of Christmas — a market, a tree, and Santa in sandals.
