Holiday Happenings At The Beach
While we may be a well-known summer destination, the Myrtle Beach area also makes for a great place to spend the winter holiday season. From Christmas parades and festivals to breathtaking theatrical performances and light shows, the Grand Strand offers everything to make your holiday season complete. Events may look a little different this year due to COVID concerns, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t still happening!
