The 21st Annual Little River ShrimpFest is a beloved fall waterfront festival celebrating the Grand Strand’s rich seafood heritage and coastal culture, set against the picturesque Historic Little River Waterfront. This two-day outdoor event — scheduled for October 10–11, 2026 — brings together locals and visitors for a vibrant weekend of fresh shrimp and seafood, live music on two stages, artisan vendors, family fun, and community spirit. With over 100 arts and craft booths, strolling balloon artists, stilt walkers, and a dedicated children’s area, ShrimpFest blends the charm of small-town Southern festivals with big-event energy and scenic Intracoastal views. The festival highlights seafood prepared by Little River’s waterfront restaurants alongside classic festival fare, offering delicious coastal flavors under sunny fall skies — perfect for seafood lovers and outdoor enthusiasts alike.
The festival’s setting along Mineola Avenue and the waterfront district creates an open-air, walkable atmosphere where attendees can shop for handmade goods, enjoy live entertainment between bites of shrimp and grilled seafood, and soak up the seasonal vibe. Kids and families will find plenty to enjoy, from face painting and interactive activities to relaxing by the water while regional bands perform throughout the day. ShrimpFest is designed as a family-friendly event with plenty of outdoor enjoyment, making it a standout addition to Myrtle Beach area fall festivities.
Join us for the 21st Annual ShrimpFest—where community, music, and great food come together!
