HEY GRAND STRAND LOCALS 🥂
Last week, we included a poll on what kind of content all of our readers are most interested in - not surprisingly, most of you chose local events + things to do followed by a close second of local restaurant features.
➡️ SO - chime in! Tell us in the comments what locals need to know - favorite things to do, upcoming events, restaurants we should feature. Don’t be shy - promote your favorite local businesses & we’ll do our best to visit them to take photos for a feature.
Here’s your list for the weekend ↓

Summer Light: Art by Night
📍 Brookgreen Gardens | 1931 Brookgreen Drive, Murrells Inlet
📅 Every Wednesday & Saturday, 6–10 PM | Through August 22
🌿 This summer, Brookgreen is after dark — and worth it. Thirty larger-than-life glass sculptures by artist Craig Mitchell Smith are installed throughout the gardens and illuminated as evening falls. Live music, food trucks, and Austin’s Harvest Restaurant round out the night. Tickets required (separate from daytime admission); members can grab a season pass.

Liberty Tap Room is the spot to catch the next World Cup match
Why go: It’s a sports bar that doesn’t feel like a sports bar — craft beer on tap, screens everywhere, a huge outdoor area with seating and a big inside bar.
What we’d order again: Start with a beer flight to sample a few local brews, then get the Liberty Fries as your app — loaded with bacon and cheese and ranch, crispy, and pairs perfectly with beer + team sports.
comment below - what restaurant should we feature next?
