Major May Events Around North Myrtle Beach

One of the biggest lifestyle highlights in North Myrtle Beach is Music on Main, a free family-friendly concert series held at the Main Street Horseshoe. The City of North Myrtle Beach describes it as a summer tradition featuring rotating bands with beach music, R&B, rock, and country, making it a great way for locals and visitors to enjoy live music in the heart of town.

Explore North Myrtle Beach also notes that Music on Main is free, with shows starting at 6:30 PM, and that Main Street restaurants and shops remain part of the experience while people gather for the concerts.

North Myrtle Beach is also close to several major Grand Strand events in May. The ONEflight Myrtle Beach Classic, a PGA TOUR event, returns May 7–10, 2026 at The Dunes Golf and Beach Club in Myrtle Beach. This event continues to spotlight the Grand Strand’s reputation as the “Golf Capital of the World.”

The area also sees increased activity during Myrtle Beach Bike Week Spring Rally, which traditionally brings visitors throughout the Grand Strand, including nearby North Myrtle Beach, Little River, and Myrtle Beach. This can mean more traffic, more visitors, and more exposure for local restaurants, shops, entertainment venues, and coastal communities.

For homeowners, these events help reinforce the lifestyle story of North Myrtle Beach. Buyers are not just looking for a property. They are looking for beach access, entertainment, local restaurants, golf, walkability, rental potential, and the ability to enjoy the Grand Strand lifestyle year-round.

North Myrtle Beach offers that mix beautifully: a classic beach-town feel with plenty to do, while still giving residents a place that feels relaxed, established, and connected to the coast.
