‘Carrying on the tradition’: Myrtle Beach announces Can-Am Days for Canadian visitors

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (WMBF) – The city of Myrtle Beach will once again be rolling out the red carpet for our neighbors to the north.

The Myrtle Beach Area Chamber of Commerce and Convention and Visitors Bureau and the city of Myrtle Beach announced the 63rd Annual Can-Am Days will take place March 9 through 17.

The week of events celebrates the long history between Myrtle Beach and its Canadian visitors. Each year, hundreds of Canadians come to the Grand Strand to enjoy the warmer weather during the colder months.

“Myrtle Beach has long been a beloved getaway for countless Canadians who seek a warm-weather retreat where they can easily explore our 60-miles of beaches, over 90 golf courses, 2,200-plus restaurants and year-round attractions,” said Karen Riordan, the president and CEO of MBACC and CVB. “We look forward to carrying on the tradition of Can-Am Days and showering them with our Southern hospitality once again.”

There will be a welcome reception from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. on Monday, March 11 at the Myrtle Beach Area Chamber of Commerce.

On March 12, the chamber and Ripley’s Aquarium will host the Can-Am Plaza Party outside of Ripley’s Aquarium at Broadway at the Beach. That event goes from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
