It’s beginning to look at lot like Christmas! And I’m sure a lot of people are itching to go check out the Myrtle Beach Holiday light displays.
You probably know about some of these; others you may not. If you know of any great ones I’ve missed, please comment below.
This list includes professional displays, town events, and private homes. Our staff will begin 2022 updates and will be updating this page as new information comes in.
Many of the display events have added value such as, Santa visits, hot chocolate, s’mores or fun and games for the kids, for example. Some of the drive-through display events charge a fee, either by the vehicle or per person. If a fee is involved, we post that information, but it’s always good to ask.
If a website or Facebook page is listed, make sure to visit and check out the hours, start dates, and any additional information that you need to know. Most of these displays start shortly after Thanksgiving, but make sure to look at the schedule for each.
When viewing a neighborhood drive-through display, always be considerate of neighbors!
