Things to do in Myrtle Beach in October

Spend Halloween at the beach this year! The Grand Strand hosts a large variety of Halloween events throughout the month of October. These events range from adult costume parties to trick-or-treat events and haunted houses for the little ones. Check out the events calendar for Halloween events this year! 

In addition to plenty of Halloween events, October is a great month to catch other festivals and events in Myrtle Beach. Some events that you can catch in October include: 

•Myrtle Beach Bike Week Fall Rally

•Pawleys Island Festival of Music & Art

•Myrtle Beach Seafood Festival

•Art in the Park

•Brookgreen Gardens Harvest Home Festival

•Little River ShrimpFest

•Taste of the Town

•Loris Bog-Off Festival

and more!

Of course, we always recommend going to see a show or two at one of the local theaters during any month of the year! Places like Alabama Theatre, Carolina Opry Theater, and GTS Theatre put on fantastic variety shows that are wonderful for the whole family. These theaters, as well as the House of Blues, also have special guest concerts that may pop up in October, too!

The weather in October is usually quite beautiful, so why not hit the links and play a few rounds of golf while you’re in town? The Myrtle Beach area is home to a long list of championship golf courses that attract millions of visitors year after year. Check out these golf courses in Myrtle Beach to plan your October trip! 

Going to the beach in October may be unheard of in other places, but in Myrtle Beach it’s quite normal! October is usually still warm enough where visitors can hang out on the beach and enjoy the sounds of the waves crashing on the shore. Sometimes the beginning of October is even warm enough to go for a swim in the ocean!
