CCMF brings four days of country music to the Myrtle Beach oceanfront. Here is how to do the festival safely and get around the closures.
CCMF has a clear-bag policy and a list of prohibited items. Check what you can bring before you head to the gates.
CCMF infoStreets near the oceanfront venue close during the festival. Park once and walk, or use rideshare drop-off zones.
Getting aroundJune days are hot and humid. Pace yourself, use the water stations, and watch out for friends showing signs of heat illness.
Call 911 for any emergency. For non-urgent help around the festival, the Myrtle Beach police non-emergency line is (843) 918-1382.
Emergency servicesFour days on the oceanfront is a blast with a little prep. Here is what to know before the gates open.
Most large festivals limit bags to clear, small sizes and ban outside drinks, weapons, and pro cameras. Check the prohibited-items list.
Refill at water stations, wear sunscreen and a hat, and take shade breaks. Heat illness is the most common festival medical issue.
Cell service gets congested in big crowds. Pick a landmark and a time so your group can regroup if you split up.
Festival dates, hours, and policies come from CCMF — verify on the official site each year.
Dizziness, nausea, confusion, or stopping sweating are emergencies. Move to shade, hydrate, and get medical help or call 911.
Streets near the venue close during the festival. Here is where to park and how to get around.
The Pavilion Parking Garage at 914 N. Kings Hwy. is the closest covered garage to the Boardwalk and SkyWheel. Rates climb during holidays and events, so bring a card and arrive early.
Paid parking is enforced 9 a.m. to midnight daily, March through September. Downtown meters run $2/hour; beach-access spaces are $3/hour or $15 all day. Pay at the meter, in the ParkMobile app, or by texting your zone number to 25023.
A 7-day visitor parking pass is $50 from the Lanier Parking office inside the Pavilion garage (914 N. Kings Hwy.). It covers city meters all week.
Coast RTA runs year-round fixed-route buses along the beach corridor. The free seasonal shuttle ended in June 2026, so check current routes on the Coast RTA Ride Tracker app or call 843-488-0865. Rideshare drop-offs avoid the closures too.
Parking rates and bus routes change seasonally; confirm current pricing on the City of Myrtle Beach and Coast RTA sites before you go.
Traffic is heaviest right after big events. Let lots clear by walking a while, or arrange a rideshare pickup a few blocks away.
