Festival Season kicks off in Myrtle Beach!

Published on 5 September 2025 at 18:17

Fall in Myrtle Beach isn’t just a season—it’s a storyline. Locals call it “festival season,” and from September through November, the Grand Strand becomes a stage for gospel choirs, chrome beasts, Shriner parades, shrimp feasts, and sunrise flights. It’s a cultural crescendo, and Retro Myrtle Beach Guy is here to mythologize every moment.
