Come to Myrtle Beach for These Fall Festivals
The crowds are lighter, the weather cooler, but the fun doesn’t set in fall in Myrtle Beach.
It’s festival season. That means great food, awesome music, and fun for the whole family. It’s tough to land on the Grand Strand any weekend in fall and NOT have a festival close by.
But these are so cool you might want to come to town for them.
