It’s finally fall in the Grand Strand, and this weekend events around the area were set to take advantage of the cooler weather, but dreary weather is raining some organizations out.
But with forecasts of showers, thunderstorms and coastal flooding, some organizers have decided to postpone plans in hopes of clearer skies. Here are the events that have been rescheduled so far, and when they’re expected to run instead.
Fall Taste of The Market Common
Anticipating inclement weather, Fall’s Taste of The Market Common has been pushed back from this Saturday to Saturday, Oct. 18. The rescheduled event will proceed with tasting dishes from Market Common restaurants, voting for food favorites and a chance to win gift cards and museum passes next weekend.
In the Pink breast cancer awareness walk
Tidelands Health’s 20th annual In the Pink breast cancer awareness walk at Brookgreen Gardens was rescheduled from Saturday, Oct. 11, to Saturday, Nov. 1. Current registrations will carry over for the new date, and new registrations will remain open until Thursday, Oct. 30, or they reach capacity.
“We’ve been keeping a close eye on the forecast and have decided to reschedule In the Pink for Saturday, Nov. 1, as we strive to provide the best event experience for our 2,000-plus participants,” said Ben Conatser, Tidelands Health philanthropy director.
The Lights by the Sea Drone Show and concert
North Myrtle Beach’s free show at the Horseshoe with performances from Blue Monday, Black Glass and a drone display, has been postponed. The city has yet to announce the rescheduled date for the show, which was originally slated for Saturday, Oct. 11.
“We’re currently looking at options to reschedule the event, and will hopefully have a new date announced soon,” North Myrtle Beach Parks and Recreation said in a social media post.
Smoke on the Waccamaw BBQ Festival
Citing inclement weather, Conway rescheduled its Smoke on the Waccamaw BBQ Festival from this weekend to Friday, Nov. 14 and Saturday, Nov. 15. The updated band lineup and additional details haven’t been announced yet, but the rescheduled festival is sure to have plenty of barbeque.
Dubbed the City of Halloween through October, Conway has plenty of seasonal events this weekend, including a Halloween movie night on Friday and a Midnight Market with Halloween vendors on both Friday and Saturday. As of noon Friday, Conway’s Halloween activities are set to proceed as planned, but a city spokesperson said that could change, in which case the city will share updates to its official Facebook page.
