Heading to the coast the weekend before July 4th? Make a stop in Conway for the annual Riverfest June 29-30.

Just about 15 miles inland from Myrtle Beach, Conway is a historic town on the banks of the Waccamaw River.

The festival, located at Conway's Riverfront Park and on the grounds of the stately Horry County Courthouse, features three stages of entertainment, filling the air with the sounds of bluegrass, gospel and country music.

There will also be a family playground, car show, golf cart parade, river raft race and boat parade. And plenty of food vendors.

It's the perfect way to kickoff your Independence Day weeklong celebration.
