Irish Italian International Festival

The City of North Myrtle Beach will host the 12th annual Irish Italian International Festival on Saturday, Sept. 26. This one-day, rain-or-shine event brings approximately 15,000 to celebrate different cultures. The festival begins at 10 a.m. and continues until 4 p.m. on Main Street in North Myrtle Beach, with food from local restaurants, two stages of live entertainment, street performers, arts and crafts vendors, and dance groups, all with an Irish Italian International theme. Restaurants will compete for the title of Best Entrée, Best Decorated, and Best Dessert. Festival goers can also join in a friendly spaghetti-eating competition.

A children's area will offer a variety of entertainment: magic, balloon art and inflatables (nominal fee). Festival admission and parking are free.
