What It Is
Free Halloween Events in
Downtown Myrtle Beach
Every weekend has its own personality. Fright Nights is a month of free Halloween events in Myrtle Beach, running Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from October 2 through November 1 at Plyler Park. Fridays bring live bands and roaming performers. Saturdays put a stage show front and center. Sundays are for the kids, and they involve a great deal of green foam.
It all wraps on November 1 with a Day of the Dead celebration. Everything is free, everything is outdoors, and none of it is designed to scare anybody.
Fridays

Sundays
A plaza full of green foam, four Sundays running. Exactly as messy as it sounds and exactly as fun. Note the earlier start — Sundays run in the afternoon, not the evening.
Dress for it. Bring a change of clothes and a towel. Kids will get soaked, and a fair number of adults do too.
