Welcome to shoulder season in Myrtle Beach. The kids have gone back to school, but the fun is far from over. Perfect weather and an abundance of events and festivals make fall a great time to experience life in Myrtle Beach.

With the crowds and heat waves of summer behind us, our real estate agents are very much looking forward to one of our favorite seasons on the Carolina coast. These are some of the Myrtle Beach fall events we're most excited about. 

• I Love Seafood Fest - 812 N Ocean Blvd, Myrtle Beach, SC 29577
  Returning on September 13 and 14 this year, the annual I Love Seafood Fest is a great way to ease the transition from summer into fall. The festival offers a tantalizing blend of live music and great food, with live bands playing on multiple stages while food vendors provide a dizzying variety of unique seafood dishes. General admission is free of charge. I Love Seafood Fest takes place within walking distance of many Myrtle Beach homes for sale at Burroughs & Chapin Pavilion Place, an outdoor event space overlooking the beach.
  
  
• Taste of the Maze at Thompson Farm - 100 Brickyard Pl, Conway, SC 29527
  Thompson Farm is a beautiful 156-acre farm alongside the Waccamaw River, less than 20 miles from Myrtle Beach. It hosts a lot of classic fall activities, like a corn maze, pumpkin patch, and hay wagon rides, and the season kicks off on September 14 with Taste of the Maze at Thompson Farm. While most of the happenings on the farm are for all ages, Taste the Maze is for grown-ups only. It's a one-night event during which you can enjoy wine and beer tastings, live music, and a chance to explore the twists and turns of Thompson Farms' corn maze.
