Indoor & Outdoor Autumn Events Perfect for the 55+ Crowd
When you think of fall events, we bet your mind flies to winding roads and soaring mountains, maroon and golden leaves, little towns dotting the map from Maine to Alabama…But you might be pleasantly surprised to find that Conway, SC – just a quick jaunt from Myrtle Beach – is absolutely bursting with fall events.
Location is so important for independent living communities – and that’s why Prime Independent Living built our newest community in Conway. South Carolina is a hugely popular retirement destination, and our little town combines the best in southern hospitality and closeness to the sights and sounds of the Myrtle Beach area. Events in Conway are particularly plentiful during the fall, and we’ve picked some of our favorites below.
Conway, SC in the Fall
Conway is a historic, family-centric river town just about 15 miles from world-famous Myrtle Beach. The city magically combines a small-town feel with big-city extras. Explore Art Deco architecture downtown, check out our excellent restaurant scene around 3rd Ave, and stroll downtown to pop in antique shops, the general store, and art galleries.
Looking to improve your handicap? You’re in luck — Myrtle Beach and the surrounding areas have 90+ golf courses, including The Dunes Golf & Beach Club and Wild Wing Plantation, located right by Prime Carolina Coast, and there’s no better time to tee off than this time of year.
