Myrtle Beach Celebrates Halloween with Spooktacular Costume Ride
This past Thursday, the vibrant streets of The Market Common in Myrtle Beach were alive with cheers, laughter, and the joyful sounds of bike bells as families from all around gathered for the annual Halloween Costume Ride, proudly hosted by Pee Dee Bicycle. For those not in the loop, this fun-filled event has been a local tradition for seven years now, popping up right before Halloween as a way to bring the community together for some spook-tacular fun!
A Night of Costumes and Creativity
Participants embraced the spirit of the season by donning their best Halloween costumes, showcasing an array of creativity that ranged from classic ghosts and witches to more unique ideas, like a bicycle-turned-zombie and a superhero on wheels! However, it wasn’t just the riders who got creative—the bikes themselves were decked out with glowing Halloween lights, streamers, and all sorts of festive decorations. It was a visual feast and a true delight to see!
Pedal-Powered Fun
As the sun began to set, casting an eerie glow over the Market Common, the costumed cyclists set off on their ride at a leisurely pace, filling the air with excitement and laughter. The ride meandered through the charming streets, offering a perfect local twist on the traditional Halloween parade. Riders joyfully chatted as they pedaled, showcasing their costumes and their uniquely decorated bikes to onlookers who waved in delight.
Ending the Evening Right
The evening wrapped up with a perfect celebration at Tidal Creek Brewery, where riders and families gathered for some well-deserved food and drink. Nothing like a tasty treat after an exciting ride, right? With a variety of menu options and a warm atmosphere, it was the ideal spot to unwind and share stories of the night’s adventures. Plus, it gave everyone a chance to show off their costumes and bike decorations one last time before heading home!
What’s Next on the Calendar?
If you think the Halloween fun ends here, think again! Pee Dee Bicycle is already gearing up for more family-friendly activities with a holiday-themed bike ride set to take place in December. While the exact dates and details are still under wraps, grab your calendar and mark it down because this is an event you won’t want to miss. Stay tuned for more information as the holiday season draws near!
