About
Myrtle Beach, SC
July 4th Pub Crawls
Myrtle Beach, South Carolina exists to host exactly this kind of weekend, and on Saturday, July 4, 2027 the official Red, White and Brew bar crawl takes full advantage. The route works the Broadway at the Beach area and the Ocean Boulevard side, the two zones that carry the Grand Strand’s nightlife.
Broadway at the Beach concentrates a large number of bars and entertainment venues into one walkable complex, which is close to ideal for a crawl. Ocean Boulevard brings the beachfront character and the rooms that have been serving visitors here for generations. Together they cover both sides of how Myrtle Beach goes out.
The Fourth is the single biggest weekend of the Grand Strand’s year. Sixty miles of coastline fill up, the beach is shoulder to shoulder from morning, and the evening pushes an enormous crowd off the sand and into the bars. Few American cities are as purpose-built for a July holiday as this one.
In 2027 the Semiquincentennial marks 250 years of American independence. South Carolina was one of the original thirteen colonies and sent four signers to the Declaration, among them Edward Rutledge, who at twenty-six was the youngest man to sign it. Myrtle Beach itself is far newer, growing into a resort town in the early twentieth century along a stretch of coast that had been quiet farmland.
Running the event is PubCrawls.com’s job, not yours. The bars are confirmed before the Fourth, the specials are set venue by venue, and the digital route map is in your hands before the night starts. Check-in happens in Broadway at the Beach / Ocean Boulevard.
The Myrtle Beach July 4th pub crawl draws locals from across Horry County alongside a large visitor crowd from North Carolina, Virginia, Ohio and the rest of the Southeast who book the Grand Strand for the holiday week specifically.
The event is 21 and over only. Birthday groups, bachelorette parties, family reunions and friend crews from across the Southeast all make the Myrtle Beach July 4th crawl the centerpiece of the trip. Groups of 20 or more can arrange pricing in advance.
Tickets are on sale now at PubCrawls.com. The Fourth is the busiest night the Grand Strand sees all year and the official pub crawl sells out well ahead. Buy early and spend America’s 250th birthday on the coast.

Frequently Asked Questions
When is the Myrtle Beach July 4th Bar Crawl?
Saturday, July 3, 2027, 5:00 PM to 11:00 PM. That lands in the single busiest week of the Grand Strand year, when the whole coast is at capacity.
How busy is Myrtle Beach on July 4 weekend?
At its absolute peak. The Grand Strand runs full through the holiday week, so traffic on Kings Highway and Ocean Boulevard is slow from the afternoon onwards.
Which part of Myrtle Beach does the route use on July 4th weekend?
The Boardwalk and Ocean Boulevard area, or Broadway at the Beach, are the realistic candidates. Your confirmed check-in venue arrives with the ticket confirmation. The two are a drive apart rather than a walk.
Are there fireworks over the Myrtle Beach pier?
Yes. The Grand Strand runs displays through the summer and stages a larger one for the holiday, with the piers and the boardwalk as the obvious vantage points.
How hot is Myrtle Beach in early July?
Hot and humid, in the 90s during the day with the ocean breeze providing the only real relief. Evenings stay warm enough that nothing over a shirt is needed.
Should I book a Myrtle Beach room ahead on July 4th weekend?
Yes, and months ahead. Fourth of July is the hardest week of the year to find accommodation on the Grand Strand, and prices reflect that completely. Waiting until spring is usually too late.
Is the Boardwalk area walkable that evening?
Yes, along the oceanfront stretch. Broadway at the Beach is a separate site inland, so check your confirmed venues before assuming one continuous walking route. Expect slow going through the holiday crowd.
Is a ride home worth booking in Myrtle Beach?
Yes. Holiday week traffic on the Grand Strand is severe, rideshare demand peaks on the Saturday, and getting back to a rental north or south takes time.
