Start your holidays at our Appointment with Santa event at Folly River Park on December 10th at 5pm. The kiddos can share their Christmas wishlists with Santa and his elves! Continue the celebration with the Folly Christmas Parade! On December 11th, line up along Center Street as floats, marching bands, and community associations parade through Folly as they show their holiday spirit. The parade starts at noon, and immediately following the parade, walk down to Folly River Park to join Santa and grab some holiday goodies!

When it comes to ringing in the new year, we do it Folly style! Make plans to head to Center Street nice and early on Friday, December 31st for the popular Flip-Flop Drop & Fireworks show! Center Street will be closed to auto traffic starting at 10pm so that revelers can join together in the street to witness the sparkly flip-flops descend from high over Folly, marking the stroke of midnight. Soon after, a grand display of fireworks will blast out from the beach. A Refreshing dip and a little hair of the dog await you on Saturday, January 1st at the Annual Bill Murray Look-a-Like Polar Plunge. Meet beachside at the Tides Hotel and plunge into the great Atlantic ocean dressed as your favorite Bill Murray character. After that, meander through the bars, restaurants, and shops of Folly for cocktail specials and more holiday cheer!

Visitors and locals are all welcome to join in the Folly Beach festivities! For more details on our holiday events or to register for the Bill Murray Look-a-Like Polar Plunge and costume contest, please visit VisitFolly.com.
