Mythical & Medieval Fest 2026, 3833 Socastee Boulevard (Myrtle Beach / Socastee): 8 November 2026 1 comment
I was a bit worried last year that the Mythical & Medieval Fest might not have a home this year as the Rat Hole bar closed, and the event ground RH Acres was associated with them. However in the event the space carries on, and the fest went on as usual this year. I did have the impression that it was slightly less busy this year, and there was one vendor tent in particular where I bought some things last year that I did not see this year, but it was a nice fall afternoon & evening and nice to be out and about. I still want to get back to the big Huntersville faire sometime, but this fest is quite enjoyable as well, so if you are in the area this weekend (14 & 15 November 2026), you might want to check it out.
Mythical & Medieval Fest 2025, 3833 Socastee Boulevard (Myrtle Beach / Socastee): 9 November 2025 no comments
For various reasons, I have been unable to get back to the Carolina Renaissance Festival in Huntersville for the past five years or so. Perhaps next year. In the meantime, I have been able to go to the Mythical & Medieval Fest in Socastee last year and this year.
It's definitely a smaller event, but still a nice way to spend an afternoon. In the event, Saturday was the last warm day in November, apparently, and I did not even need a sweater to be out and about on the grounds -- a far cry from this week!
I took in the saucy songs, juggling acts, broad comedy and fire dancers as well as checking out all the vendors. I would say that there seemed to be less local food this year. I had found some good local salsa last year, but did not see that farm booth Saturday.
The Sun News reports that the biker bar "The Rat Hole" has closed, and I infer that the event space for the festival, "RH Acres", was connected with that, so I am not sure if the festival will have a spot to unfold next year. We will have to see. At any rate the show is on for next weekend as well, so if you happen to be in the area, it's worth a look!
