Southern Living Top 10 BudgetMemorial Day Getaways #2 Myrtle Beach, SC"Imagine scrunching your toes in the sand or lining up a trick-shot putt through the mouth of a dinosaur. Your sunny beach getaway is closer than you think, and not nearly as expensive. Whether it's your first summer vacation to Myrtle Beach or your 40th, don't make reservations until you consider some of our favorite spots."Southern Living Magazine Top 10 Budget Getaways #8 Myrtle Beach, SC"In the Carolina Beach Music classic Myrtle Beach Days, the Fantastic Shakers pay homage to their deep love affair with the vacation area by singing about its laid back vibe, sun-kissed afternoons spent in folding chairs, and summer evenings occupied by "riding on the coaster and fishing off the pier." Fortunately, those lazy days filled with simple pleasures aren't some wishful memory. You can still "pack the cooler and suntan lotion" and spend a whole week at Myrtle Beach without dealing with crowds or even venturing much past the parking lot of your hotel."Southern Living Magazine |

Myrtle Beach Area Chamber Announces Spring, Summer 2009 Festival Dates Dec. 18, 2008 MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. – The Myrtle Beach Area Chamber of Commerce announces the 2009 dates for its 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. For more information, call (800) 356-3016 or visit CanAmDays.com. 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 was 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.

That year, a handful of regional beauty queens, riding in Nash Ramblers, arrived in Myrtle Beach to 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.
