A Myrtle Beach Favorite, The Sun Fun Festival, is Back!
It’s back for the 70th time this year! The annual Sun Fun Festival is set to kick off summer at the beach. And, this year, the dates are May 16-18, 2025.
What hasn’t changed is the jam-packed schedule of events hosted in Plyler Park on Ocean Boulevard for those three days – something for the whole family to enjoy. Don’t miss the U.S. Army Golden Knights Parachute Team, as they make a perfect landing on the beach in front of Plyler Park three times during Sun Fun: a Friday night pyro jump, and two sky-high performances on Saturday. Check out the line-up below!
Friday, May 16
Head on out to Plyler Park for the first day of the Sun Fun Festival with entertainment by the Swingin’ Medallions (playing crowd favorites and beach classics) starting at 6 p.m. You’ll be on your feet dancing and singing along to these well-known tunes. There will be games, photo booths, face painting, glitter tattoos, photo ops, free crafts for kids, but be sure to stick around until 9 p.m. for the U.S. Army Golden Knights Parachute Team Pyro Jump!
