Myrtle Beach Chamber Announces Spring, Summer 2009 Festival Dates

The Myrtle Beach Area Chamber of Commerce announces the 2009 dates for it’s Canadian-American Days, Sun Fun Festival and Beach, Boogie & BBQ Festival.  These free family-friendly festivals add even more fun to the already diverting and playful destination.

In 2008 alone, Myrtle Beach earned such distinctions as Top 10 Family-Friendly Destinations (Weather.com), Top Family Destinations (Ask.com) and Top 10 Places for Families to Visit in the U.S. (Yahoo!).

“Our peak season festivals entertain crowds of more than 100,000 with free, top-notch performances and events,” said Brad Dean, MBACC president and CEO. “Visitors and locals alike can’t beat the national acts, activities, events, contests and spectator competitions-all without digging into their wallets.”

The 48th annual Canadian-American Days will be held March 14-22, 2009, throughout the Myrtle Beach area.  The nine-day line-up will feature events, activities and discounts, including welcome receptions, military band concerts, athletic tournaments and wildlife and history days.

Canadian-American Days draws as many as 100,000 Canadian visitors and snow birds from Northern states. The MBACC introduced Canada Days in 1961 to attract Canadian families during their spring school break. The name changed in 1963 to Canadian-American Days. It is regarded as the first international festival organized in South Carolina.

The 58th annual Sun Fun Festival will be held June 4-8, 2009, throughout the Myrtle Beach area. The core festival, June 5-6, will take place at Grand Park across from The Market Common on the former Myrtle Beach Air Force Base. The festival will feature live entertainment, Kids Zone, food and arts/crafts vendors and much more. 

A popular festival, Sun Fun draws between 30,000 and 40,000 attendees. the first Sun Fun Festival, held in 1951, was conceived to attract vacationers during the period between the end of the school year and the July 4th holiday. That year, a handful of regional beauty queens, riding in Nash Ramblers, arrived in Myrtle Beach at add some luster to the 14 events that comprised the inaugural festival.

The fourth annual Beach, Boogie & BBQ Festival will be held September 4-5, 2009, at Grand Park across from The Market Common. This Labor Day weekend festival, which draws between 50,000 to 60,000 attendees, will feature the official barbeque competition of South Carolina, Wheels at the Beach Car Show, live entertainment and Kids Zone among other events.

Polar Plunge Only For The Fearless In Myrtle Beach

 

Are you brave enough to take the plunge?

Have you ever taken the Polar Plunge? I’m here to tell you it is like nothing you have ever experienced.   Beware though, this is not for the faint of heart.  The Atlantic Ocean at this time of year is COLD, hence the term “Polar Plunge.”  I am trying to recruit as many people as possible to come to Bay Watch Resort and take the Polar Plunge with us on New Year’s day.  As an incentive  they will be serving complimentary Cider, Hot Chocolate & Coffee for all plungers and their families . Not only will each plunger receive a plaque, various other prizes will be awarded. All adults will receive a FREE drink card redeemable at the Sandtrap Sports Bar & Grill (on-site), Junior plungers will receive special prizes,  the largest group to participate will all receive Logo beach towels, the person to stay in the water the longest will receive a large speciality gift basket.  So I guess the question is; “How brave are you?”  For more details you can comment back to me, or you can call the resort at 1-800-845-9700.

Loving The Weather At The Beach

Can you believe this weather? It’s 75 out there and I am loving it! While most people are wearing their heavy down coats with their mittens and scarfs, we are having  glorious weather  and cruising the beach in our flip flops and shorts.  It’s OK, don’t cry.  I know you’re cold, but you don’t have to be. Surely, Myrtle Beach is not that far from where you are located.  With the weather as great as it is, I would be packing my bag and taking me a road trip to find the sunshine and the warmth. This is the perfect time to travel, especially if you are on a budget. The current room rates are cheap, cheap, cheap.  Oceanfront rooms with your own private balcony that you normally can not afford during the summer, could be yours just for the asking.

When you’re ready, and I know you will be after watching this video, give us a call at 1-866-469-7853. Or use the link provided to the right and book your own reservation. See you soon.  Don’t forget to pack the suntan lotion, you never know when you’re going to need it.
