Canadian-American Days Festival

Shed the dreary coat of winter and celebrate the start of spring during Myrtle Beach’s 44th Annual Canadian-American Days Festival®, which is being held March 12-20, 2005. Welcoming our visitors from the north has become a tradition among many hotels and resorts on the Grand Strand. The Myrtle Beach Resort has extended it’s low winter rates to include the Can-Am Festival and is also accepting Canadian dollars at par! Reduced CAN-AM rates at this popular resort are available on line.

For four decades, the festival has welcomed our Canadian friends with warm South Carolina sunshine, beach games, community-sponsored activities, sporting events and musical productions. Traditionally, the festival coincides with Ontario’s school holiday, enabling the entire family to plan a vacation along the 60 miles of clean, sandy beaches of the Grand Strand.

Highlights of the festival include the Little Olympics, International Kitefest, concerts, riverboat tours, South Strand Wildlife and History Day, St. Patrick’s Day Parade and Festival in North Myrtle Beach and the National Shag Dance Championship.

The Canadian-American Days Festival has been selected one of the Top 20 Events in the Southeast for the past 12 years by the Southeast Tourism Society.
