Traditionally Labor Day is the holiday to say “goodbye” to Summer and “hello” to Fall.  For us here in the south, the warm weather will linger well after Labor Day weekend, but that doesn’t mean we’re going to turn down an opportunity for a party.  Especially if the party involves lots of fun for the whole family.  This weekend there are lots of festivals to choose from in the low country involving the beach, live music and also good food.

Beach, Boogie and BBQ Festival – Myrtle Beach
The annual festival takes place in Grand Park at the Market Common on September 4 – 5, 2010. Â Nothing says Summer more than great BBQ and live music on the beach, and this festival has it all. Â In addition to music and food, there’s also arts & crafts and lots of other vendors.
