Early February in Myrtle Beach is nearly perfect for long-distance running. The temperatures average 60 degrees, the sun almost always shines, and the streets aren't jammed with tourists and golfers.
The Horry County Museum hosted the first annual quilt gala in 1994 on the lawn of the old County Courthouse with 40 beautiful quilts waving in the breeze.
The quilt Gala is not a judged or juried show, anyone can participate by entering a quilt. Applications to enter a quilt can be obtained at the Museum, through the mail, or the Museum’s website. Registration for the quilts is held at the Museum two weeks prior to the Gala. (All quilts are fully insured and secured while in our possession.)
At the Winter Parrot Head Festival La Belle Amie's hot spiced mulled wine will ensure warmth as you celebrate the arrival of spring.
Have a great time listening to the summer sounds of Jan "Big Bam Boom" Vaughan and the Little Big Band, and sample the great wines of Le Belle Amie, as the winter months slowly melt away. A great place to meet new friends, hospitable and lively folk from all around the country travel to visit this down-home gathering.
All across America, there are no better places to embrace spring than Myrtle Beach.
Mardi Gras is a traditional holiday celebrated in many of the Southern states of the U.S.A., the most famous of which takes place in New Orleans. In 1718, the French in New Orleans were having private masked balls and parties.
Beach Blanket Bingo may have faded away, but Myrtle Beach still celebrates the good old days with its yearly Shag Dance Contest. Now, you might not see Annette Funicello or even Frankie Avalon, but they will be here in spirit - dancing the night away!
The National Shag Dance Competition is more than just dancing, though. Shag dancing has developed an extremely loyal band of followers, which grows larger as the years go by. Shag dancing attracts a particular type of person, those who are free-spirited and generous.
