Guide to Oktoberfest in Myrtle Beach

Now that we are moving out of the summer season, local venues are gearing up to host their 2015 Oktoberfests. Myrtle Beach is the perfect place to enjoy the yearly tradition of Oktoberfest! We not only have mild weather during the fall, but we have tons of ways to celebrate here in Myrtle Beach!




Be sure to put these upcoming nearby Myrtle Beach festivals on your calendar:


8th Annual Oktoberfest

The Market Common in Myrtle Beach will be hosting the 8th Annual Oktoberfest on October 2 and 3. Valor Park will be the setting for this annual event which draws both locals and visitors alike. The park will be filled with games, German food, a variety of vendors and of course, beer! On Friday, the event will run from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. and on Saturday it will run from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Additional activities will include a pumpkin patch, face painting and the self-proclaimed largest choice of Oktoberfest beers. A variety of German and fall beers will be available for purchase in both bottle and on draft. So, be sure to check out The Market Common Oktoberfest during your Myrtle Beach vacation for a fun time and unique fall beer experience.


Oktoberfest on the Boardwalk

Downtown Myrtle Beach will be the host of the October 10 and 11 Oktoberfest. Join this annual party with views of the ocean and enjoy the sounds of live music from various local bands. Stroll the festival area while enjoying cold and refreshing fall beers. The festival will include a beer garden, kids’ carnival, car show, petting zoo and more! Sunday will also feature Battle of the Bands Show Down where the top six bands will compete for more than $5,000 in cash prizes. So plan to head down to Ocean Boulevard between 8th Avenue South and Joe White Avenue for this fun Oktoberfest and an afternoon or evening of fun. The festival will run 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. on Saturday and from noon to 9 p.m. on Sunday. Admission is free.
