If you’re looking for a truly magical holiday experience on the Grand Strand, make a stop at Brookgreen Gardens’ Nights of a Thousand Candles. This annual event transforms the lush sculpture gardens in Murrells Inlet into a stunning, candle-lit wonderland — imagine strolling beneath live oaks wrapped in light while thousands of hand-lit candles flicker and reflect off the ponds and pathways.
