Everyone has heard of at least one annual festival in Myrtle Beach… The Blue Crab Festival, MayFest Festival, Sun Fun Festival, RiverFest, Little River Shrimp & Jazz Festival, Can-Am Days Festival, Carolina County Music Festival, Beach Boogie & BBQ Festival, OktoberFest and there are still more to name. At these festivals you’ll find great food, crafts, drinks, and a good opportunity to “chill-out” for the day. But once a year YOU get to participate in the festival a the annual Native Sons Salt Games! This 2 day, action packed festival allows local competitors test their skills for prizes in and out of the water. This festival is not only about competitions, but also a fun filled day for the family as well. This year at the 5th Annual Games there will be food, beer, live entertainment by Tru Sol, kids games and more activities: a corn hole tournament, a giant game of twister, an open half pipe and a Surfrider education zone.
This year the Native Sons Salt Games will benefit the Surf Dreams Foundation. This fantastic foundation provides less fortunate children with the passion to surf with surfboards, leashes, wet suits and more. So we encourage you to bring your old surf gear and donate to a great organization!
