St. Patrick's Day Parade & Festival

The 32nd Annual Street Patrick’s Day Parade and Festival has been canceled. We encourage our residents and visitors to make a special effort to patronize North Myrtle Beach businesses this weekend and throughout the coming tourism season.

We ask that you pay special attention to businesses located on Main Street, the route, and location for the annual parade and festival. These businesses invested in goods and services in preparation for the now-canceled parade and festival and are deserving of your support.
