Since 2015, the CCMF of Carolina Country Music Fest has brought some of the hottest and most popular country artists to perform at Myrtle Beach, South Carolina – within the Burroughs and Chapin Pavilion Place – every June of the year. It runs from Friday through Sunday.

The outdoor country music festival was founded by Charlotte-based company, Full House Productions, which is an entertainment company that provides extraordinary entertainment services. The premiere event in 2015 featured country stars Rodney Atkins, Eric Church, Cole Swindell, Rascal Flatts, Mo Pitney, Sam Hunt, Hunter Hayes, and so much more. This brought in more than 20,000 attendees that keeps growing each year.

While the festival was canceled in 2020 due to COVID-19, it was welcomed with a sold-out event in 2021 – drawing an estimated 35,000 attendees.

And now, the Carolina Country Music Fest is coming back this June for the biggest party yet! 

CCMF 2023 Dates And Lineup 

Are you ready to party? Grab a cowboy hat and a pair of flip-flops, as country music will once again meet the picturesque shores of Myrtle Beach. The boardwalk will once again become home to the Carolina Country Music Fest!

The four-day music festival will run from June 8 to 11, 2023 and will bring together more than 30 of the country’s hottest artists today. CCMF has already announced its star-studded lineup, which includes country superstars Morgan Wallen, Miranda Lambert, Brooks & Dunn, Hardy, Travis Tritt, Scotty McCreery, Lainey Wilson, Ernest, and more.
