Myrtle Beach, South Carolina is such a great travel destination. Going to the beach is only scratching the surface when it comes to things to do. There are a lot of fun sightseeing destinations as well as special events that make this city special.
So it should come as no surprise to you that Myrtle Beach is a lot of fun during New Year’s Eve. There are a lot of special events and things to do around town that I want to tell you about.
1. New Year’s Eve Fireworks Extravaganza
Love seeing fireworks on New Year’s Eve? Then you are in for a treat if you visit Myrtle Beach. Because you can see the New Year’s Eve Fireworks Extravaganza Broadway At The Beach. Weather permitting, the fireworks start at 8:00 PM.
Broadway at the Beach is of course a great place to visit when you are in Myrtle Beach. There are a lot of great entertainment options and great stores to shop. There are a lot of wonderful restaurants there, too. My family always loves visiting Broadway at the Beach whenever we’re in Myrtle Beach.
If you’d like to take advantage of everything Broadway at the Beach, then consider staying at Hampton Inn Myrtle Beach Broadway at the Beach. It is located right beside Broadway at the Beach and a lot of the top attractions are within walking distance.
2. Noon Year’s Day Party
Speaking of Broadway at the Beach attractions that are within walking distance of Hampton Inn, one of them is Ripley’s Aquarium of Myrtle Beach. And Ripley’s Aquarium of Myrtle Beach just happens to have a great event on New Year’s Day. This is technically not New Year’s Eve, but it is definitely worth mentioning. It is also an event that can be a bit easier to do if you have kids who you don’t want to stay up late.
This party takes place from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM on Sunday, January 1st, 2023. And the party includes a live DJ, Ripley’s mascot appearance, crafts, prizes, and even a mermaid dive show. Snacks, beer, and wine are also available for purchase. So this could be an event the whole family could enjoy together and might work better for families with kids than a New Year’s Eve event.
A great thing about this event, too, is that it is included in the cost of general admission. You can buy a ticket to Ripley’s Aquarium here.
3. Noon Year’s Eve Celebration
If you really want your celebration to take place on New Year’s Eve and you have kids, though, you can Lucy Buffett’s Lulu’s. They have a kid-friendly celebration at 10:00 AM. There’s a live band, face painting, balloon animals, etc. You can even visit there on New Year’s Eve and then Ripley’s on New Year’s Day!
