Myrtle Beach will host the highly anticipated Carolina Country Music Festival from June 5-8, 2025, marking its 10th anniversary. Expected to attract approximately 30,000 attendees, the festival is projected to have a significant economic impact on the city, estimated at around $50 million. With such a considerable influx of visitors, local officials emphasize the importance of ensuring both economic benefits and public safety during the key summer event.
The festival will take place over a large area, with grounds spanning from Kings Highway to Ocean Boulevard between 8th and 9th Avenues North. This prime location will allow attendees easy access to the main attractions, which this year include headliners such as Kid Rock, Rascal Flatts, Jelly Roll, and Lainey Wilson. These well-known artists are expected to draw large crowds, contributing to Myrtle Beach’s reputation as a premier destination for music lovers.
City spokeswoman Meredith Denari pointed out that the festival plays a crucial role in boosting the local economy while also highlighting the necessity for comprehensive safety measures. In anticipation of the thousands of visitors, emergency responders and city officials are collaborating closely to ensure a safe environment. New safety measures have been implemented, including the acquisition of $630,000 worth of safety equipment designed to aid in crowd management and traffic control throughout the event.
Traffic Management and Safety Measures
To facilitate an orderly flow of traffic during the festival, police will implement a late-night traffic management plan. Various streets will experience closures or restricted access, particularly on Ocean Boulevard from 7th Avenue North to Mr. Joe White Avenue. This proactive approach aims to minimize congestion and enhance safety for both festival-goers and local residents.
Patrons are encouraged to prioritize their health and well-being while attending the festival. Organizers recommend that attendees stay hydrated and seek protection from the sun’s rays, with medical tents set up on-site to address common health concerns that may arise during the event.
Ticket Availability and Weather Considerations
While tickets for the festival are still available, they are limited, with prices ranging from $105 to $625. As the event date approaches, potential attendees are advised to secure their tickets soon to avoid disappointment.
Weather conditions are another important aspect to consider, as forecasts indicate a possibility of rain during the festival period, particularly on Thursday, which could be the wettest day. Festival organizers strongly encourage attendees to prepare for potential stormy weather while emphasizing that safety remains a top priority throughout the event.
Conclusion
The Carolina Country Music Festival promises to be a significant event in Myrtle Beach’s calendar, combining entertainment with substantial economic benefits for the city. As the community gears up for this milestone anniversary, both the local government and festival organizers are committed to ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience for all attendees.
