Don’t miss out on making this holiday an unforgettable experience shared with family and friends. 

A Week of Celebrations!

North Myrtle Beach's 4th of July events last all week long! Start your Independence Day Week by letting freedom sing on June 29th and 30th when you make plans to attend the City of North Myrtle Beach’s All City Choir Cantata: A Patriotic Celebration, held at Living Water Baptist Church.  This free event is a patriotic celebration with songs of God and country and is sure to be a star-spangled hit for the whole family. Tickets are first come, first serve, so be sure to arrive early. 

Celebrate Independence Eve on July 3rd with Crooked Hammock's Freedom Fest. Specialty hot dogs will be served from the Happy Camper, and a hot dog eating contest will take place at 12pm! Live music will fill the air from 2-5pm, and kid's can party like it's 1776 at the craft table where they can make patriotic friendship bracelets. 

Start your July 4th with a parade, NMB style! Golf carts packed with patriotic pizzazz will take to the streets in Windy Hill! This informal parade starts at 10am and runs along Seaview Street. 

There's no better place to be than on the beach on the 4th of July. Plan to spend some time relaxing on the beach that afternoon. You’ll want to be down on the sand before 1 P.M. so you don’t miss the Salute from the Shore, the annual flyover of South Carolina’s coast that honors America’s armed forces. Wave your flags high as the military planes fly overhead. This event is truly a must-see and an incredible reminder that we are the land of the free because of the brave.

End the week with a bang when you run the Annual Red, White, and Blue 5K on July 6th at Barefoot Landing. Family members of all ages are welcome, and participants are encouraged to dress in their patriotic best for a chance to win prizes!

July 4^th Feasts & Fireworks 

There’s nothing more American than juicy cheeseburgers and hot dogs fresh off the grill as your 4th of July feast! Find everything you need and more for your meal at Boulineau’s Food Plus, a Cherry Grove landmark, then grill it all up on the deck of your beach home or vacation rental. Once your bellies are full, grab a lawn chair and head to the Cherry Grove Pier for a firework extravaganza at 9:30 p.m. For a view of the fireworks like no other, hop aboard the Hurricane Fleet's 4th of July Fireworks Cruise for an evening ride to the perfect spot off the beach for an unobstructed view of the coast! 

If you prefer to let someone else do the cooking, explore a variety of options at Barefoot Landing or Broadway at the Beach and plan to stick around for their professional displays at 10 p.m., You can even catch the show from the water while onboard the Barefoot Queen Riverboat's July 4th Fireworks Cruise! 

While you’re in North Myrtle Beach, remember to leave the fireworks to the professionals. Setting off your own fireworks is illegal within City limits, but not to worry, sparklers are always welcome!
 

Let Freedom Ring (and Sing)

After the fireworks are through, plan to see a show at the Greg Rowles Legacy Theatre. On July 5th and 6th, the theatre is offering Buy One Get One FREE to all Military (Active, Veterans, Retired) and First Responders. Their Music and Memories show is sure to make you proud of the Red, While and Blue. 

It’s easy to get caught up in the fun of the 4^th, but in North Myrtle Beach we remember that freedom isn’t really free. We salute and honor the men and women who have fought, sacrificed, and continue to bravely serve our country. God Bless America, from sea to shining sea!
