The Greater Holden Beach Merchants have an exciting summer planned for you. Beginning with Concerts on the Coast in May and running through August there is sure to be a foot-tapper for everyone. Sunday afternoon under the bridge at the stage about once a week the merchants provide great entertainment with local bands, groups and talent. Throughout the summer keep checking the calendar for current activities being offered around the beach.  The selection will include local authors book readings and signings,free arts and crafts, and of course the history of the Carolina pirates and the ever popular "Turtle Talk" held once a week at the Town Hall. And don't forget our two great festivals that happen in the Spring and the Fall. April 25th and 26th will be the "Day at the Docks" Festival featuring food, arts and crafts, boat ride and the world's only bobble race! Then in October the "Holden Beach Festival by the Sea" is scheduled with plenty of fun for the whole family. Food, Arts and Crafts, Entertainment, Street Dance, horseshoes, kite flying display and much, much more. So mark your calendars and let Holden Beach be your place for FUN IN THE SUN!
