Sun Fun Festival is Coming Back This Summer

The Sun Fun Festival is coming back to Myrtle Beach this summer.

The Sun Fun Festival first began in the 1950s and has been a long-standing festival in the Grand Strand area. However, the festival endured a five year hiatus from 2011 and 2016 and was cancelled last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Myrtle Beach City Council recently approved a permit for the festival to come back this summer.

This year’s festival will be the 65th event of it’s kind and take place from June 4 to June 6 at various locations around Myrtle Beach including Plyler Park and the boardwalk. Guests will be able to enjoy live music, vendors and various performers during the event, which is free for the public.

Some of the highlights of this year’s event include music from Swingin’ Medallions and Too Much Sylvia, a sand sculpture competition and a Sun Fun parade.
