Don't Miss Canadian-American Days 2012!

CanAm Days in Myrtle Beach
March 10 – 18, 2012

The Canadian-American Days Festival Celebration has become a major event for the Grand Strand. Known to draw as many as 100,000 Canadian visitors and snowbirds, the festival is the perfect opportunity to showcase South Carolina’s southern hospitality offered to our northern neighbors.

For 8 days, Myrtle Beach and the Grand Strand welcome all northern friends to enjoy our glorious sun-soaked beaches and exciting events: live concerts, community-sponsored activities, St. Patrick’s Day celebrations, Run to the Sun car show and access to the beautiful state park beaches.

While Canadian visitors enjoy a series of exciting events, Myrtle Beach residents and those visiting enjoy an enriching cultural experience to kick-off the spring and summer months. Plus, who doesn’t love the sound of a Canadian accent?! We sure do!

Plantation Resort invites all our Canadian friends to escape the snow and join the Myrtle Beach party! To make your stay comfortable, condos with 1,2 or 3 bedrooms and full kitchens are available for rent. Allow us to be your home away from home. To make reservations, please call 1-800-845-5039.
