Halloween BOOnanza North Myrtle Beach 2025 (Family Guide)
As October tips toward twilight, the soccer fields at the North Myrtle Beach Park & Sports Complex start to glow—jack‑o’-lantern grins, cotton‑candy sunsets, and kids in capes racing the chilly breeze. That’s the night the City’s Parks & Recreation team, together with Coastal Carolina University’s Leadership class, turns green grass into orange‑and‑black wonder for Halloween BOOnanza. It’s a homespun carnival with small‑town heart: magic shows, marshmallow roasting, games that make you laugh, and inflatables tall enough to make superheroes feel right at home.
