This Fall, there are festivals abounding along the Grand Strand. While there are so many events to choose from, visitors to Myrtle Beach should definitely keep an eye on the Market Common district, as we head into the Autumn season.

The fun begins on September 24th with the Seacoast Artists Arts in Common Fall Festival. This two-day festival is sponsored by the Seacoast Artists Guild and will take place in Valor Park from 9 am to 5 pm each day.
