December 31
Myrtle Beach

Though New York City on New Year’s Eve is often a dream experience for many, the crowds and price can be a real deterrent. Celebrate at The Market Common instead, which will feature a Southern Times Square experience. The night will include two stages of music, a beer garden, street vendors and a kids’ area. There will also be fireworks and a ball drop.

The Market Common, 4017 Deville St. Thursday, 7 p.m.–1 a.m. Free. (843) 839-3900, www.marketcommonmb.com
