The story

Carolina Country Music Fest in Myrtle Beach

Carolina Country Music Fest is a four-day beachfront country music festival held each June in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, billed as the largest event of its kind on the East Coast. The festival gathers dozens of country artists for performances on the sand at Burroughs and Chapin Pavilion Place, drawing national recognition as one of the top country music festivals in the United States.

Carolina Country Music Fest launched as an attempt to combine two things Myrtle Beach already did well on their own: hosting major touring concerts and drawing summer beach vacationers by the millions.

What is special

The place changes

The mystery stays covered

Billboard has named it among the top five must-experience country music festivals in the country, while Festicket has ranked it among the top ten music festivals of any genre in the United States

03

The city starts moving

With more than forty artists across four days, the festival has become a centerpiece of Myrtle Beach's summer tourism calendar, drawing visitors who plan entire vacations around the event rather than a single-day concert outing
