Blue Crab Festival

Festival season is in full swing in the North Myrtle Beach area, and this weekend brings us yet another one: Little River’s Blue Crab Festival.

The three-day event highlights the quintessential summer food in a big way. Friday night kicks off with a street party from 6-10, complete with fireworks and a performance by the Tommy Black Band.

Saturday and Sunday will also feature live music, as well as arts and crafts, community and business booths, a raffle, a kids’ area and, of course, all the crabs you can eat.

Tickets can be purchased in advance at local stores or online, and start at $3. Children under six can get in for free.
