City of Halloween South Carolina 2026: A Family Guide to Halloween in Conway

If your family loves Halloween—but prefers festive fun over anything too frightening—you need to visit the City of Halloween in Conway, South Carolina.

Throughout October, Downtown Conway transforms into a walkable Halloween destination filled with pumpkins, skeletons, witches, creative displays, themed parks and plenty of fun photo opportunities. It feels like the entire city has joined together to create one giant Halloween experience.

As a Myrtle Beach-area mom, I love finding seasonal activities that are fun for both kids and adults. Conway’s City of Halloween is one of those outings where you can walk around, explore at your own pace, grab dinner or a treat and enjoy the decorations without purchasing a ticket for every stop.

Here is everything families need to know before visiting the City of Halloween South Carolina in 2026.

FLOHOM Houseboat at Barefoot Marina: Family Review

FLOHOM completely changed that.

If you’ve been searching for a unique place to stay in North Myrtle Beach, a Myrtle Beach staycation idea, or you’re simply wondering what it’s actually like to stay on a houseboat with kids, here’s our experience.
