📆 Events + Things to Do Weekend
GO
Where: Conway Riverfest
Why: Because Conway is cool and this festival is a reason to escape the beach tourists*. Listen to a little country + a little rock ‘n roll live music, see fireworks, shop local vendors, and send the kids to bounce their energy out in the KidsZone.
When: Saturday, June 29th

PS: We ❤️ tourists.
GIVE
What: YMCA of Coastal Carolina’s Send a Kid to Camp Fundraiser
Why: Every child in should experience the magic of summer camp. But, in our area, many parents can’t afford it.
Oh no! Is there good news? YES. The Y offers financial assistance to families so ALL kids can go to summer camp. Last July, the Y provided more than $10,000 in financial assistance to families in Myrtle Beach so they could afford to send their kids to camp while they worked.
How: YOU. You can make it happen. Generous people in the community give to support the Hope & Possibilities Fund which supports the YMCA of Coastal Carolina’s financial assistance program so all kids can go to summer camp, learn to swim, play sports, and so much more.
Make it happen: Donate online
Say cheers: You turned "sorry, we can't afford it" into "heck yeah, you're going to camp next week!" for a kid who begged to go to Y summer camp with their friends.
INDULGE
Where: Hamburger Joe’s.
Why: If you’re seeking the perfect smash burger in the Grand Strand, Hamburger Joe’s has a cult following and cooks 1600 burgers a day… it’s safe to say this place is popular.
Order: Extra crispy French fries, smash burgers dripping in melted cheese, onion rings that and wings tossed in a magical Carolina Gold sauce.
