On the Cheap with Julie Henry

    ORDER REPRINT →

September 20, 2012 12:00 AM

Fall is my favorite time of year in Myrtle Beach. The weather is spectacular, the water’s still warm, and there are plenty of free and cheap activities to keep me busy. Here’s a list of what’s happening over the next few weeks:

Friday, Saturday and Sunday

• Broadway at the Beach is holding a Fall Crawl on Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Admission is free. This event includes sidewalk sales, family-style entertainment, a fireworks extravaganza (9 p.m. on Saturday), and food sampling. The sampling will take place in Celebrity Square from 4 to 8 p.m. on Friday and from noon to 4 p.m. on Saturday. Sampling tickets are $1 each. You’ll need more than one for each sample.
