Fall Festivals At Broadway Make Myrtle Beach's Secret Season Fun
Fall is called “the secret season" in Myrtle Beach. The summer crowds are gone but the weather is perfect for all kinds of outdoor activities. The air temperatures are in the high 70s, while the ocean water hovers around 73 degrees. Best of all, it's festival season in Myrtle Beach, and there's something going on at Broadway at the Beach every week.
Cars take center stage on October 3 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. when the 5th Annual Coastal Carolina Mustang Stampede & All Ford Car Show is held near Hard Rock Cafe. It's been more than 50 years since the first Mustang was introduced. The 1965 version became the first car ever to win the Tiffany Gold Medal for excellence in American design. Come see how the car named Motor Trend's Car of The Year twice has evolved over the years, while capturing a slot on Car and Driver's Ten Best list six times. But this show isn't just about Mustangs. Registration is open to all Ford vehicles in 23 classes, so there will be lots of models to check out.
The following week, the Out of the Darkness Walk will be held on October 10, with registration beginning at 9 a.m. and the walk at 10 a.m. The event provides an opportunity to get some exercise in while raising money for a good cause. Proceeds from the Walk benefit American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. After you've built up an appetite walking, check out the Sons of Italy Festival from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. on October 10 in the parking lot near Hard Rock Cafe. Food and drink vendors will line the parking lot serving up everything Italian, and specialty gift vendors will be offering unique gifts and souvenirs.
