Get Ready for SOS Fall Migration 2026 in North Myrtle Beach

Every September, thousands of shaggers and beach music lovers head to Ocean Drive for one of North Myrtle Beach’s most beloved events: the SOS Fall Migration. Hosted by the Society of Stranders (SOS), this 10-day celebration brings together dancers, DJs, and live bands for a high-energy experience rooted in tradition, music, and pure Carolina beach vibes.

The SOS Fall Migration 2026 will take place right in the heart of Ocean Drive, where Main Street transforms into a lively hub of activity, dancing, and entertainment. The festival is famous for its signature events, including Fun Sunday and Fun Monday, when Main Street closes down for an epic block party full of music, shag dancing, food vendors, and smiling faces.

If you’re planning to attend, consider becoming an SOS Member—it’s the best way to enjoy reduced or waived cover charges at all participating clubs throughout the event. With your card in hand, you’ll get access to all the iconic venues where the action happens day and night.

One of the most popular spots during the migration is Fat Harold’s Beach Club, the legendary home of beach music. Located right on Main Street, Fat Harold’s offers daytime live bands and your favorite beach DJs spinning tunes well into the night. Whether you’re a beginner or a longtime shagger, there’s no better place to dance the official state dance of South Carolina—the Carolina Shag.
