The Spirit(s) of Conway (9/17/25)

Last week, Bob and I drove to the town of Conway, South Carolina, to visit the Horry County Museum. The drive into Conway made us curious to see more. We drove back today to walk their Riverwalk along the Waccamaw River and Kingston Lake and check out their downtown. We got more than we bargained for and continue to be impressed with this town.

We had seen on the local news that they had put up
a big pumpkin in their Town Square but didn’t know
that they consider themselves the City of Halloween.

Based on what we saw on our walks, we would definitely consider them the City of Halloween for anywhere. We parked by the marina, which is close to the Riverwalk and downtown.

This was the first thing we saw when we pulled up.
The boat was blowing smoke and music was playing.
Almost all of the exhibits were playing
recorded voices or other noises or exhibit-appropriate music.

towards the bridge we drove in on
The Conway Outpost at one end of the marina parking lot
I loved that there was a boat going by right as I was taking this.
Til death do us part…
Say what?!
The end of the line
The shaded Riverwalk
Who ya gonna call?
The Halloween themed version of the downtown sign
Another Conway sign just off of the Riverwalk
There are a number of murals on downtown buildings
The downtown theater
Another decorated park downtown
Lots of alleys downtown.
Many provide outside seating for restaurants,
but this one is dedicated to the local Coastal Carolina University and space for relaxation and fun.
This is in the Town Square which looked like booths
were being set up for an event.
Hulk Hogan was talking trash
to Andre the Giant when we walked by.
