Why You Should Go
- A whimsical, immersive experience. From a fairy forest and roaming minstrels to authentic artisan villages and medieval combat, the festival brings the storybook worlds to life.

- Unique local event. It’s described as Myrtle Beach’s only renaissance-style festival of this kind.
What to Expect – Highlights
- Medieval Combat & Viking Games: Watch armored combatants, join in a Viking toss, or simply cheer on the spectacle.
- Artisan Village & Demonstrations: Blacksmiths forging steel jewelry, glass-blowers melting and shaping pendants, artisans selling medieval wares.
- Fairy Forest & Costumes Encouraged: Guests are encouraged to dress up—even if just a cloak or crown—and wander through a fairy forest and enchanted settings.
- Live Music & Entertainment: Sit on a hay bale, enjoy flutes and guitars, catch strolling minstrels, and enjoy fire shows as evening draws near.
- Food & Treats: From turkey legs to family-friendly food options, there are edible delights aplenty. Bring your appetite!
Planning Tips – Your Visit Made Easy
- Arrive early. The gates open at 11:00 a.m.; arrive soon after to beat the crowd and get the best parking or seating spots.
- Dress the part (if you want!). Costumes are encouraged—dragon wings, fairy wands, knight’s tunic—they add to the fun. Don’t worry if you go casual; you’ll still fit right in.
- Bring weather-appropriate gear. November in Myrtle Beach can be mild, but layers are wise. Comfortable shoes are a must—this festival is spread across an outdoor area with walking.
- Make a full day of it. With shows, artisans, games and food, arriving around opening and staying until later gives you the full experience.
- No pets allowed (except service animals). Important to note: pets aren’t permitted. Service animals are welcomed; emotional-support animals do not count.
- Support the cause. Keep in mind: your admission supports Caleb’s Dragonfly Dreams—so you’re having fun and helping others.
Location & Getting There
The festival is located at RH Acres, 3833 Socastee Blvd., Myrtle Beach, SC 29588.
If you’re driving: the Grand Strand can get busy, especially on weekends—allow extra time for arrival and parking. If you’re staying nearby, consider taking a local ride share or simply riding in if parking is limited.
Nearby lodging and dining opportunities abound—so you might consider staying the night and enjoying a local breakfast or beach walk the next morning.
Don’t miss out on one of Myrtle Beach’s most magical seasonal events! Mark your calendar for November 8-9 or November 15-16, pack your cloak or wings (or come as you are!), and step into the realm of the Mythical & Medieval Fest. Whether you’re bringing young adventurers, teens, or making it a couples-day-out, there’s something for everyone. Buy your tickets early, arrive inspired, and leave with memories (and maybe a handcrafted pendant!) that last.
See you in the realm! 🏰
