The Murrells Inlet MarshWalk isn’t lit up for Christmas this year.

According to a post on the MarshWalk of Murrells Inlet Facebook page, the Wonderland of Lights was canceled due to effects from Hurricane Florence, flooding and other circumstances.

The event was going to run Nov. 17 to Dec. 31, with string lights illuminating the MarshWalk. The bars and restaurants also decorate. Holiday music was to be synced to the lights.

The event is still planned for next year. According to the Facebook post, Taste of the MarshWalk is still planned for January.
