Surfside Beach to Host Spectacular Summer Finale with Fireworks and Festivities

Surfside Beach is set to bid farewell to summer with a vibrant festival on Sunday, August 31, 2025, at the Surfside Beach Fishing Pier.

 

The event kicks off at 5:30 p.m., featuring live beach music by The Catalinas, an authentic Hawaiian hula show, and a variety of food and craft vendors.

 

Families can enjoy a dedicated kids' zone offering a bounce house, water slide, face painting, and a foam zone.

 

The event is a celebration of community spirit and a warm welcome to visitors.

 

The fireworks display is scheduled to begin at approximately 9 p.m., lasting around 20 minutes.

 

For safety reasons, pier businesses have been advised to avoid the area during the delivery of fireworks between 6-8 a.m. on the day of the event.

 

Local authorities, including the fire department, police department, and public works, will be present to conduct security sweeps before and after the fireworks display.

 

A free shuttle service will operate from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m., covering all parking lots in Surfside Beach to accommodate attendees.

 

The festival's budget of $40,000, sourced from Accommodations Tax funds, is expected to come in approximately $5,000 under budget, according to Tabitha Mull, Surfside's communications coordinator.

 

The fireworks display, costing $19,999, was negotiated to remain under the $20,000 cap set by the Town Council.

 

Residents and visitors are encouraged to join the festivities and celebrate the end of summer at Surfside Beach's Family Beach.
